Prince Philip has returned to King Edward VII's Hospital after undergoing a "successful" heart procedure at another London hospital, Buckingham Palace says.

He is expected to remain in hospital for continuing treatment for a number of days, the palace says.

Prince Philip, 99, has already spent 17 nights in hospital.

He underwent the procedure on a pre-existing condition at St Bartholomew's Hospital on Wednesday.

The duke, who turns 100 in June, was first admitted to King Edward VII's on 16 February where he was treated for an infection before being moved to Barts on Monday for tests and observation on his heart.

The exact reason for his initial admission was not disclosed, but it was not related to coronavirus.
