\u201cThe Royal Family joins with people around the world in mourning his loss,\u201d the family said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Pointblanknews.com sources in the United States hinted that Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle will attend the funeral ceremonies in London despite\u00a0their estranged relationship with\u00a0the palace.<\/p>\n

Born a prince of Greece and Denmark on the island of Corfu in 1921, he married the queen\u2014then still Princess Elizabeth\u2014in 1947, when he was 26 and she was 21. They were third cousins, both descended from Queen Victoria.<\/p>\n

Prince Philip, duke of Edinburgh, spent much of his adult life walking a step or two behind his wife, accompanying her to state dinners, garden parties and charitable events. Behind the scenes he was credited with working to push the monarchy to be more open and accessible to the British public. He was also affiliated with some 800 organizations, including numerous charities.<\/p>\n

Prince Philip carried out his public duties until August 2017, when he made his final official appearance at a Royal Marine parade at Buckingham Palace. Known for his sometimes outspoken remarks, Prince Philip treated his role as consort as an act of duty above anything else.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the customer that needs to be satisfied, not me,\u201d he said during a documentary of his life, aired around his 90th birthday. \u201cI don\u2019t do it for my own amusement.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
