Since 1947, Prince Philip had been married to Queen Elizabeth II. In November 2020, the couple shared their 72nd wedding anniversary. Prince Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew, and Prince Edward were the royal couple’s four children.

Following the prince’s passing, the queen has issued a heartfelt statement.

“It is with deep sorrow that Her Majesty The Queen announces the death of her beloved husband, His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh,” according to a statement from Buckingham Palace.

The UK is in eight days of national mourning for Prince Philip, with all government buildings flying Union flags at half mast until 8 a.m. on Sunday.

MPs returned from their Easter recess early for tributes to the Duke of Edinburgh, headed by Boris Johnson.

All media coverage has been halted, with the exception of important public health business.

That implies no Covid news conferences, no public health-related press releases, and no ministers giving media interviews.

Labour has also withdrawn from public-facing action throughout the time of mourning, as per policy.

It started on Friday, when Philip passed away, and will continue until his funeral on April 17.

The Queen has agreed to Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s request for a national mourning time.

Over the next fortnight, Union flags will be flying at half-mast on royal homes, government offices, Armed Forces installations, and UK posts abroad.

According to Cabinet Office advice, public services and all activities relevant to the government’s reaction to the pandemic would proceed as usual, and residents would be able to obtain information and services electronically if required.

According to a senior royal official, engagements would resume as necessary under the circumstances.

People are being asked not to lay flowers, candles, or notes in public spaces or at royal homes, which will usually be an act of mourning and gratitude upon the passing of a national person such as the duke.

To stop a collision with the burial, several sports organizations are discussing alternative plans for Saturday’s games.

Matches due to begin at 3 p.m., as well as Premiership rugby fixtures, will be rescheduled, according to the Football League.
