The British Monarchists Society, its Patrons, members, and friends, mourn the passing of His Royal Highness Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, who has died peacefully in the early hours of this morning, 9 April 2021 at Windsor Castle, aged 99. A beloved husband of 73 years and a loyal consort of 69 years, Prince Philip was a loving father of four, grandfather of eight, and a great-grandfather of ten. His Royal Highness will be remembered for becoming the longest-lived male member of our Royal family and leaves behind one of the longest and most successful legacies of any Prince Consort of this Realm. The British Monarchists Society sends our deepest condolences and heart felt prayers to Her Majesty, the Queen, and all members of the Royal family.

A steadfast and resilient source of support for the Queen both privately and publicly, as a loving husband and stately Prince Consort, Prince Philip has maintained his oath to Her Majesty upon her Coronation in 1953, to be her “liege man of life and limb”. His Royal Highness’ devotion to Her Majesty’s Armed Forces and all the 800 organisations, charities, and causes he cared for deeply over his decades with them, have benefited from his selfless and tireless efforts to promote their causes and initiatives. As Patron of the British public, all that were involved with him, and cared for him, will feel the loss of this caring and straight forward individual. Now is the time to remember the Duke for the man he was, and what he accomplished for this nation. As we mourn such a loss, our thoughts, care and concern should rightfully turn to Her Majesty, the Queen.
