Further announcements will be made in due course.
Before marrying the Queen, Philip also belonged to another royal family, in fact, two royal families the Greek royal family and the Danish royal family since he was born the only son to Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark and Princess Alice of Battenberg. However, after tying the knot with the then princess, who eventually became the Monarch, Philip also inherited a number of titles and earned a collection of money and assets in his life.

Lady Louise Windsor paid a touching tribute to her grandfather Prince Philip today as she was spotted out carriage driving in the grounds of Windsor Castle on the morning of his death.
Prince Edward and Sophie the Countess of Wessex s daughter, 17, could be seen participating in the hobby that she shared with her grandfather the Duke of Edinburgh, who was instrumental in helping to establish carriage driving as a sport in Britain.
The teenager, who was joined by an aide and wore her blonde hair in a low ponytail, cut a casual figure in black and wrapped up warm in black trousers and a coat - putting safety first in a protective helmet.
