On Friday 9 April, Buckingham Palace announced that Prince Philip has died at the age of 99. 

His Royal Highness passed away peacefully at Windsor Castle.

After the passing of His Royal Highness, the palace announced certain statements regarding the funeral and Prince Harry and The Duchess Of Sussex, Meghan Markle. 

READ: No State Funeral for Prince Philip

The royal family announced that Prince Philip will not have a State Funeral nor lie in state for the public to pay their respects ahead of his funeral. These were the wishes of the late Royal. 

Exact details of who will be attending the funeral were not released, but among those present will be Prince Harry, whose explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey alongside wife Meghan Markle last month plunged the royal family into its greatest crisis in decades.

The Duchess of Sussex, who is pregnant with the couple's second child, will not attend on doctor's advice, the palace said.

Markle had a miscarriage in July 2020, making her current pregnancy high-risk.

"Meghan expressed condolences. The Queen understands why she can't travel at the moment," the source added according to People.

Nevertheless, the royal family is honouring and looking back at the life of Prince Philip. 

They shared some beautiful photos on Instagram.
