Like many other councils across the country, Hampshire County Council has paid its respects to Prince Philip, who sadly passed away at the age of 99. However, in the county council’s case, the message was first issued in 2019, when the council accidentally published it in error on its website. The message displayed today, and the accidentally published message, are identical, though the appearance of the message has changed. It reads: On behalf of our residents, the Lord Lieutenant of Hampshire and Hampshire County Council offer deepest sympathies to the Royal family on the passing of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.

Prince Philip, the irascible and tough-minded husband of Queen Elizabeth II who spent more than seven decades supporting his wife in a role that both defined and constricted his life, has died, Buckingham Palace said on Friday. He was 99.
His life spanned nearly a century of European history, starting with his birth as a member of the Greek Royal family and ending as Britain s longest serving consort during a turbulent reign in which the thousand-year-old monarchy was forced to reinvent itself for the 21st century.
