Further announcements are expected to be made “in due course.”
Philip married the then-Princess Elizabeth in 1947, after a prolonged courtship that began in 1939 when Philip was 18 years old, and Elizabeth aged 13.
Australia’s Governor-General David Hurley issued a statement following confirmation of Prince Philip’s passing, stating that it was a “sad and historic day.”
That’s it. That’s the story.
