Prince Phillip has died at age 99, RIP
April 9, 2021
After heart surgery and a gallant fight to survive, Prince Phillip, age 99, has died. For nearly a hundred years, he was by his wife’s side, through wars, and depression, and a reinvented British Empire.
It is with deep sorrow that Her Majesty The Queen has announced the death of her beloved husband, His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.

RIP Prince Philip, 99.
A truly great Briton who dedicated his life to selfless public duty & was an absolute rock of devoted support to Her Majesty, The Queen, as the longest-serving royal consort to any British sovereign.

Prince Philip was the longest-serving consort of any British monarch. He served 69 years supporting the Queen and retired from the royal service in 2017. It is with deep sorrow that Her Majesty The Queen has announced the death of her beloved husband, His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. His Royal Highness passed away peacefully this morning at Windsor Castle, the statement said.
That s all you need to know about Prince Philip.
For 73 years, this extraordinarily selfless man gave his life to the service of his adoptive country and to his wife, the Queen.
He was the longest-serving royal consort to any sovereign in British history.
And he was tough, uncompromising, fiercely loyal, incredibly hard-working, unapologetically belligerent, and suffered fools as benevolently as a lion suffers a weak-willed gazelle in the African bush.
The news of the Duke of Edinburgh s death hit me hard.
He was a constant presence in my life from the day I was born in 1965, the immovable rock at the side of my Monarch, Queen Elizabeth II.
