Prince Philip, the 91-year-old husband of Queen Elizabeth II, has been admitted to a hospital for an exploratory operation on his abdomen, a statement from the Buckingham Palace said.

"His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh has been admitted to the London Clinic for an exploratory operation following abdominal investigations. He is expected to stay in hospital for up to two weeks," said a statement issued last night by the Palace.

Philip is expected to remain at the London Clinic for up to two weeks. Philip's admission to hospital came shortly after he attended a Buckingham Palace garden party yesterday.

The Duke, who turns 92 this month, had missed an engagement at the palace on Monday night because he was said to be feeling "under the weather".
