London (CNN) -- Britain's Prince Philip, husband of Queen Elizabeth II, was taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary in Scotland on Wednesday afternoon as a precautionary measure, Buckingham Palace said.
It is not yet clear what has caused the concern for the 91-year-old Duke of Edinburgh, who was out and about on the Isle of Wight, off the south coast of England, earlier this week.
Prince Philip has suffered a couple of health scares in the past year.
He received hospital treatment for a bladder infection in June, after falling ill during events to mark the queen's diamond jubilee.
In December, he spent four nights in a hospital over the Christmas period for treatment of a blocked coronary artery.
The longest-serving consort in British history, Philip married then-Princess Elizabeth in November 1947 in Westminster Abbey.
