London (CNN) -- Britain's Prince Philip was taken to a hospital on Friday for "precautionary tests" after complaining of chest pains, a Buckingham Palace spokeswoman said.
He was taken from Sandringham to the cardiothoracic unit at Papworth Hospital in Cambridge, she said. The royal family traditionally spends Christmas at the Sandringham Estate.
Philip, the husband of Britain's Queen Elizabeth, is also known as the Duke of Edinburgh.
He turned 90 in June, at which point a Buckingham Palace spokesman said that Philip would gradually "wind down" his workload.
