Prince Philip has been hospitalized with a bladder infection, and will miss the rest of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. Paramedics were called to Windsor castle today to fetch Philip, in what's being billed as a "precautionary measure," according to the Daily Mail. In a statement, Buckingham Palace said Philip would remain under observation for a few days and was "understandably disappointed" to miss tonight's concert. Philip will turn 91 on Sunday.
