The husband of Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Philip, has been hospitalized just as Britain holds major celebrations marking the queen's 60th anniversary on the throne.
Palace officials said the 91-year-old prince -- whose official title is the Duke of Edinburgh -- was sent to the hospital Monday "as a precautionary measure" after developing a bladder infection. He is expected to remain in the hospital under observation for a few days.
