A file picture dated 17 March 2006 of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh during a tour of the Biopolis in Singapore. The Duke of Edinburgh was taken to hospital in London a palace spokeswoman said on 04 April 2008. EPA/POOLDoctors were examining the 86-year-old Duke of Edinburgh, who was admitted to London's King Edward VII hospital on Thursday and were to decide about his release. It was expected that Philip was to remain hospitalized over the weekend, but his state of health was not regarded as in any way critical. Philip has been married to the queen for more than 60 years and is said to be in robust health despite his advanced age. The duke's last public engagement was March 27 when he attended the formal send-off for French President Nicolas Sarkozy at Windsor Castle with the queen. Buckingham Palace, the seat of the British monarchy, did not cancel the duke's appointments for the coming week.
