Prince Philip, the 98-year-old husband of Queen Elizabeth II, is being treated at a hospital, according to Buckingham Palace.
The Duke of Edinburgh was taken to King Edward VII Hospital in London for "observation and treatment in relation to a pre-existing condition," the palace said in a statement.
"The admission is a precautionary measure, on the advice of His Royal Highness' Doctor," the statement read.
Prince Philip traveled from Norfolk, England, where the queen has her country estate Sandringham, to London for the medical care.
On the same day, Queen Elizabeth traveled from London to Norfolk to begin her Christmas holiday.
The royal family plans to spend Christmas at Sandringham, per tradition.
