A palace spokesperson says that 99-year-old Prince Philip will likely remain in hospital over the weekend and into next week for “observation and rest”

This decision has been made following consultation with the Duke’s doctor. 

Palace sources are keen to stress that Prince Philip is remaining in hospital out of an “abundance of caution” and that he remains in “good spirits”.
