The royal family has confirmed that Queen Elizabeth II’s husband Prince Philip<\/a>, 96, has been admitted to King Edward VII Hospital on Tuesday for a planned hip operation.<\/p>\n

A spokeswoman said, “Further updates will be issued when appropriate.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n

The Prince retired from public life in August 2017 with his last engagement involving meeting members of the Royal Marines and veterans at a military parade.<\/p>\n

In the time since Elizabeth ascended to the throne, it is believed Prince Philip carried out 22,000 royal engagements.<\/p>\n

He was last seen at a Christmas Day church service but was unable to make the Easter church service over the weekend, reportedly due to pain in his hip.<\/p>\n

The Prince has been hospitalised in the past, in 2011 he spent Christmas in the hospital for angioplasty treatment of a blockage in his coronary arteries. While there have been other treatments, nothing has been publicly spoken about. <\/p>\n

The Queen has previously praised Philip’s devotion, calling him her rock. <\/p>\n
