Buckingham Palace says Prince Philip will likely remain hospitalized for a few more days while receiving treatment for a recurring bladder infection.
The 91-year-old husband of Queen Elizabeth II was taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary on Wednesday.
The palace said Thursday he is responding well to treatment, but it was unclear when Philip would be released. It said "he is likely to remain in hospital for a few more days."

In December, he underwent a successful coronary stent procedure to clear a blocked artery.
