    LONDON, Feb 17 (Reuters) - Queen Elizabeth's husband, Prince Philip, was admitted to hospital on Tuesday evening as a precautionary measure, Buckingham Palace said.

    "The Duke's admission is a precautionary measure, on the advice of His Royal Highness's Doctor, after feeling unwell. The Duke is expected to remain in hospital for a few days of observation and rest," the statement said.

    The prince, who is aged 99, was admitted to hospital for a short period at the end of 2019.

    He stepped down from official engagements in August 2017.
