CAMBRIDGE, England, Dec. 24 (UPI) -- The British royal family's traditional Christmas get-together was interrupted when Prince Philip had emergency cardiac surgery.
Philip, 90, was airlifted from Sandringham in Norfolk to Papworth Cardiothoracic Hospital in Cambridge after he suffered chest pains, The Daily Telegraph reported. Doctors there found he had a blocked artery and Friday performed "the minimally invasive procedure of stenting."
