- This follows royal news that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are planning to make a big announcement over the festive period.

According to Hello!, he told a reporter, "He's being looked after very well in hospital," the royal replied. "At the moment that's all we know."
When asked by a member of the public, the prince also added, "When you get to that age things don't work so well!"

The statement read, ‘The Duke of Edinburgh travelled from Norfolk this morning to the King Edward VII Hospital in London for observation and treatment in relation to a pre-existing condition. ‘The admission is a precautionary measure, on the advice of His Royal Highness’ Doctor.’
On the same day, the Queen travelled to Sandringham to begin her Christmas break, a day after she marked the State Opening of Parliament on Thursday.
We wish the Duke a speedy recovery.
