	Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh and father of Crown Prince Charles, was taken to the cardiothoracic unit at Papworth Hospital after he complained of chest pains. 
	The blocked artery was &quot;treated successfully by the minimally invasive procedure of coronary stenting,&quot; a palace spokesman said. &quot;Prince Philip will remain in hospital under observation for a short period.&quot;
