PRINCE PHILIP'S SECRET HEART CONDITION
British monarch QUEEN ELIZABETH II's husband PRINCE PHILIP has hidden a heart condition for 15 years, according to reports.
PRINCE PHILIP
The royal, 86, - who is patron of the British Heart Foundation - takes regular medication and his staff have been briefed to take him to hospital immediately if he is short of breath or dizzy.
Aides have reportedly been instructed "not to take no for an answer" and warned he could have a heart attack at any time.
A source tells British newspaper the Evening Standard, "The Queen and the family have been concerned about him in recent weeks.
"He was not feeling himself and given his age and his heart condition, it added to the worry.
"He takes medication. Those who work close to him are informed of the symptoms and if he shows any sign of them he is to be taken straight to see a specialist."
However, the prince - who recently recovered from a spell of ill health - insists on carrying on with official engagements.
