Prince Philip will not attend a commemoration marking the Battle of Jutland on medical advice.
A statement from Buckingham Palace said: "Following doctor's advice, the Duke of Edinburgh has reluctantly decided not to attend the commemorations marking the Battle of Jutland tomorrow in Kirkwall and Hoy."
A spokeswoman added: "The Princess Royal, who was already attending the events, will represent the Royal Family."
Sky News understands that he is staying privately in Scotland with the Queen.
The Prince has appeared to be in robust health recently, accompanying the Queen in Windsor during her 90th birthday celebrations last month.
