Prince Philip was moved by ambulance to a specialized London heart hospital earlier today.

Doctors will run some tests and keep him under observation for a pre-existing heart condition as he continues to be treated for an unspecified infection.

Philip will be 100 in June.

He was first admitted to hospital almost 13 days ago on his doctor's advice because he wasn't feeling well.

Buckingham Palace says the Queen's 99 year old husband will undergo testing and observation for a pre-existing heart condition as he continues treatment for an unspecified infection.

The Duke of Edinburgh was admitted to King Edward the Seventh Hospital two weeks ago tomorrow after he felt unwell.

The palace says Philip is comfortable and is responding to treatment.
