Subscriber only Prince Philip, the Queen s constant strength and guide was being mourned across the globe last night. The Duke of Edinburgh died peacefully just two months short of his 100th birthday at Windsor Castle. He had spent 28 days in hospital battling an infection and heart condition this year, finally succumbing to his illness on Friday evening Australian time. Britain has entered a national period of mourning, but Prince Philip had previously rejected an offer of a State Funeral, instead asking for a less fussy , private, military-style send off at St George s Chapel and a burial at Frogmore Gardens, which are both inside the grounds of Windsor Castle.
