London - It has just been confirmed that Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, has been taken to the Aberdeen Royal Infirmary as a "precautionary measure." This is the third time in just eight months he has been admitted to the hospital.

The Buckingham Palace released a statement Wednesday in which it verified that Great Britain’s 91-year-old Prince Philip was taken to a hospital in Scotland for reasons unknown. “He was taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary as a precautionary measure,” said a spokesperson for Buckingham Palace in a statement. “We don’t have any further details and are waiting for the Duke to be medically assessed.” "We will wait for the Duke to be medically assessed and then we will issue a further advisory," Palace spokesperson told Agence-France Presse. BBC News noted that the Duke of Edinburgh is not considered in critical condition. The Buckingham Palace later confirmed that he was hospitalized for a recurring bladder infection.
