UK's Prince Philip taken to London hospital after feeling unwell
Prince Philip, the 99-year-old husband of Queen Elizabeth, has been taken to a London hospital after feeling unwell, according to a Buckingham Palace press release. "His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh was admitted to the King Edward VII Hospital in London, on Tuesday evening," the Wednesday release stated.
A Royal source told CNN that the Duke traveled to the hospital by car and it was not an emergency admission. The source added that he walked into the hospital unaided and his illness is not Covid-19 related.
The Buckingham Palace press release added: "The Duke's admission is a precautionary measure, on the advice of His Royal Highness's Doctor, after feeling unwell. "The Duke is expected to remain in hospital for a few days of observation and rest," it added. Prince Philip stepped back from public life in 2017. Due to his advancing age, the Duke has been taken to hospital several times in recent years. In December 2019 he was admitted to the hospital for treatment of a pre-existing condition.
The Queen and Prince Philip have spent most of the past year at Windsor Castle, having moved away from Buckingham Palace during the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic in spring 2020. The couple both received the first dose of a Covid-19 vaccine in January 2021.

I didn't know Queen Elizabeth was married. I'd assumed she was married to a King who must have died.
So I googled, "Why isn't Prince Philip a King?" and there's a lot of good information. Apparently, it's a common question.
But I do wish him well and hope he recovers!
Did you never wonder who fathered Prince Charles, etc?
Or who the old guy was who followed her around?
And never mind “thought she was married to an old king who died.” 
Or as they say across the Pond: "while in hospital". 
About the King/Queen 'title' thing.
When a King marries, his wife becomes Queen. But when a Queen marries, her husband does not become King. Marriage doesn't auto-drop a Queen's standing down to being second-fiddle.
She's still #1.
