Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh and Queen Elizabeth’s husband passed away today at the age of 99 at Windsor Castle.
The Queen’s beloved husband lived a full life from his childhood in the Greek Island of Corfu, his career as a naval officer to becoming a father and the longest serving consort in the British Royal family.
He was a devoted husband, father of four, sweet grandfather and Queen Elizabeth’s long and loved companion for 7 decades. His life also included many achievements from setting up the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award scheme to designing a Boucheron ring for Queen Elizabeth and being one of the top 10 polo prayers in Britain.
As the world and royal family mourn his loss, we pay a tribute to his life with this photo gallery of his most memorable moments.
