The Duke of Edinburgh has spent his first night in a new London hospital as he continues to be treated for an infection and a pre-existing heart condition.

Prince Philip, who turns 100 in June, was admitted to St Bartholomew’s Hospital in the City of London on Monday, having been transferred by an ambulance to the renowned cardiac centre earlier in the day.

Buckingham Palace said in a statement that he is expected to remain in the hospital until the end of the week but reassured he is responding to treatment and “remains comfortable.”

The move came after he spent the previous 13 nights at the King Edward VII’s Hospital in Marylebone.

He was shielded from public view as he left the hospital on Monday.

Umbrellas were held up as he made his way into a waiting ambulance, at the rear of the hospital, and was taken to St Bartholomew’s.

In a statement on Monday, Buckingham Palace said: “The Duke of Edinburgh was today transferred from King Edward VII’s Hospital to St Bartholomew’s Hospital where doctors will continue to treat him for an infection, as well as undertake testing and observation for a pre-existing heart condition.

“The duke remains comfortable and is responding to treatment but is expected to remain in hospital until at least the end of the week.”

St Bartholomew’s is an internationally renowned hospital and Barts Heart Centre is Europe’s largest specialised cardiovascular service and a centre of excellence for both cardiac and cancer care.

The duke was initially admitted nearly two weeks ago on February 16 for a few days as a precautionary measure after feeling unwell. A week later, Buckingham Palace announced the Queen’s consort was being treated for an infection.
