Following the sad death of Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, yesterday aged 99, it s been confirmed that grandson Prince Harry will travel to the UK to attend. His wife Meghan Markle, on the other hand, is unable to travel being heavily pregnant, and therefore will not be in attendance.
It s now been confirmed that Prince Philip s funeral will take place at 3pm on Saturday, 17 April, with a small group of 30 family and long-serving workers. Prince Harry, who lives in California with Meghan and their one-year-old son Archie, will fly home to the UK on his own. Royal correspondent Omid Scobie reports the Duke of Sussex will follow all US and UK COVID-19 protocols in the process of attending the funeral.

Today is a dark day for the royal family and for the nation, as Queen Elizabeth announced with deep sorrow the death of her husband, Prince Philip, at the age of 99. The Duke of Edinburgh passed away peacefully this morning at Windsor Castle, leaving behind his wife, the Queen, and four children - Prince Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward - as well as eight grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren.
What will happen to Prince Philip s Duke of Edinburgh title?

The royal family has shared with the world the sad news that Prince Philip has died, aged 99. The husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather leaves behind his loved ones, as well as various patronages and titles, including Duke of Edinburgh.
But now Prince Philip has passed away, what happens to the Duke of Edinburgh title? Does it die with the owner, or is it passed down to someone else in the royal family? While nothing has been confirmed yet by the royal family, considering their loss is still fresh, it is generally typical for titles to pass on to another family member in the wake of a death. For example, when the Queen passes away and Prince Charles becomes King, his Prince of Wales title will be passed down to Prince William, who is currently the Duke of Cambridge.

Following the very sad death of the Queen s husband, Prince Philip, many are wondering what will happen to the Duke of Edinburgh s Award charity scheme (commonly known as DofE) now.
The scheme has been credited as enriching the lives of millions of young people for over 60 years, after it started back in 1956. Its ethos is all about challenging individuals to step outside of their comfort zones, engage in volunteering schemes and partake in new adventures that will bolster their confidence – the theory being that said confidence will then spill over into other areas of their lives.
Initially the programme started as a boys-only initiative, but welcomed girls in after its first year of operation. Currently, over 140 countries offer the Duke of Edinburgh award scheme, meaning it s certainly one of the biggest elements of Philip s legacy.
