The Duke of Edinburgh has been admitted to hospital for "precautionary tests" after suffering chest pains, Buckingham Palace says.
The Queen's husband was flown to the cardiothoracic unit at Papworth Hospital in Cambridgeshire from Sandringham House in Norfolk, where the royal family is gathering to celebrate Christmas.
Sky's royal correspondent Paul Harrison said: "Over recent weeks there hasn't been any kind of sign that his age is taking any toll on him.
"If these are precautionary tests that are being done on him, at the moment, it doesn't appear to sound too serious."
