Duke of Edinburgh Prince Philip has died aged 99
The prince married Princess Elizabeth in 1947, five years before she became Queen, and was the longest-serving royal consort in British history, with more than seven decades of public service.
A statement from Buckingham Palace today, April 9, 2021, said: "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 couple had four children, eight grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.
Prince Phillip was well-known for his public gaffes and off-the-cuff comments before retiring from royal duties, due to old age, in 2017.

He was a lucky bastard who married in to a family/situation in which he did not have to struggle nor did he nor the queen have to look for a job.. it would be good if other people had the opportunity to serve as the so-called royal family.
In any case may his soul be at peace.
According to the records ,he was of legitimate birth to parents that were wed in Holy matrimony.
May he Rest In Peace after a long life of service
