How royals have responded to the death of Prince Philip

Prince Charles released a statement about his father's death "on behalf of the royal family" on April 10, speaking of Philip's service to the Commonwealth.

"I particularly wanted to say that my father, for I suppose the last 70 years, has given the most remarkable, devoted service to The Queen, to my family and to the country, but also to the whole of the Commonwealth," Charles said.

"As you can imagine, my family and I miss my father enormously," he went on to say. "He was a much loved and appreciated figure and apart from anything else, I can imagine, he would be so deeply touched by the number of other people here and elsewhere around the world and the Commonwealth, who also I think, share our loss and our sorrow."

"My dear Papa was a very special person who I think above all else would have been amazed by the reaction and the touching things that have been said about him and from that point of view we are, my family, deeply grateful for all that," Prince Charles continued.

"It will sustain us in this particular loss and at this particularly sad time. Thank you," he said.

The 2015 picture featured a then 2-year-old Prince George and Prince Philip on a carriage together in Norfolk. Middleton took the picture of Philip with his great-grandson.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge captioned the photo, which they shared on April 12, with a message from Prince William.

"My grandfather's century of life was defined by service — to his country and Commonwealth, to his wife and Queen, and to our family," William wrote.

"I feel lucky to have not just had his example to guide me, but his enduring presence well into my own adult life — both through good times and the hardest days," he continued. "I will always be grateful that my wife had so many years to get to know my grandfather and for the kindness he showed her."

William went on to write about his children's relationship with Philip.

"I will never take for granted the special memories my children will always have of their great-grandpa coming to collect them in his carriage and seeing for themselves his infectious sense of adventure as well as his mischievous sense of humour," he added.

"My grandfather was an extraordinary man and part of an extraordinary generation. Catherine and I will continue to do what he would have wanted and will support The Queen in the years ahead," William wrote. "I will miss my Grandpa, but I know he would want us to get on with the job."

The couple also honored Philip on their website with a black-and-white photo of him.

Prince Harry released a statement about his grandfather's death, which Insider was able to review.

The statement spoke to Prince Philip's playful personality and his life of service.

"My grandfather was a man of service, honor and great humor," Harry said. "He was authentically himself, with a seriously sharp wit, and could hold the attention of any room due to his charm — and also because you never knew what he might say next."

"He will be remembered as the longest-reigning consort to the Monarch, a decorated serviceman, a Prince and a Duke. But to me, like many of you who have lost a loved one or grandparent over the pain of this past year, he was my grandpa: master of the barbecue, legend of banter, and cheeky right 'til the end," he continued.

"He has been a rock for Her Majesty The Queen with unparalleled devotion, by her side for 73 years of marriage, and while I could go on, I know that right now he would say to all of us, beer in hand, 'Oh do get on with it!'"

"So, on that note, Grandpa, thank you for your service, your dedication to Granny, and for always being yourself," Harry added. "You will be sorely missed, but always remembered—by the nation and the world. Meghan, Archie, and I (as well as your future great-granddaughter) will always hold a special place for you in our hearts."

Harry ended the statement with "'Per Mare, Per Terram,'" which is the Royal Navy's motto. He and his grandfather shared a devotion to service.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle also paid tribute to Philip on their Archewell website, writing: "You will be greatly missed."

The official royal family Instagram account has shared multiple photos of Prince Philip since his death.

Some of the pictures highlight his life of service, while others spotlight his relationship with the Queen.

One photo, taken by celebrated American photographer Annie Liebovitz, was captioned with a quote from the Queen about her husband from 1997.

"He has, quite simply, been my strength and stay all these years, and I, and his whole family, and this and many other countries, owe him a debt greater than he would ever claim, or we shall ever know," she said.

Princess Eugenie, who named her son after Prince Philip in February, shared two photos of her grandfather on Instagram, along with a letter to him.

"People remember sitting next to you at a dinner, or shaking your hand once, who remember you saying hello in passing, or remember how much their DofE award meant to them," she wrote.

"I remember learning how to cook, how to paint, what to read," she continued. "I remember laughing at your jokes and asking about your spectacular life and service in the navy. I remember incinerating the sausages and you swooping in to save the day.⁣"

"I remember your hands and your laugh and your favourite beer," she said. "I will remember you in your children, your grandchildren, and great-grandchildren."

Eugenie finished her tribute with a comment on her grandfather's love for the Queen.

"Thank you for your dedication and love for us all and especially Granny, who we will look after for you," she wrote.

Princess Anne, the Queen and Philip's only daughter, released a statement about her father's death on Sunday.

"You know it's going to happen but you are never fully ready," she wrote. "My father has been my teacher, my supporter, and my critic, but mostly it is his example of a life well-lived and service freely given that I most wanted to emulate."

"His ability to treat every person as an individual in their own right with their own skills comes through all the organisations with which he was involved," Princess Anne went on to say. "I regard it as an honour and a privilege to have been asked to follow in his footsteps and it has been a pleasure to have kept him in touch with their activities. I know how much he meant to them."

"I would like to emphasize how much the family appreciate the messages and memories of so many people whose lives he also touched," Princess Anne wrote. "We will miss him but he leaves a legacy which can inspire us all."

Speaking to reporters about the Queen, Prince Andrew said that his father's death had "left a huge void in her life."

"But we the family — the ones that are closer — are rallying round to make sure we're there," he said.

Prince Andrew also shared advice his father gave to him during the pandemic with the press.

"My father said to me on the telephone a few months ago that we're all in the same boat, and we must all remember that," Prince Andrew said. "But occasionally we, the family, are asked to stand up and show compassion and leadership."

"And unfortunately, with my father's death, it has brought it home to me not just our loss but actually the loss that everybody else has felt for so many people who've lost loved ones during the pandemic," he added.

Prince Edward spoke of the global impact of Prince Philip's death.

"It just goes to show: he might have been our father, grandfather, father-in-law, but he meant so much to so many other people," he said.

"He means so much to so many people here, and it's the same for those who lived and worked at Balmoral and Sandringham. For all those past and present," Prince Edward added.

Prince Edward's wife said that her late father-in-law's final moments were "so gentle" and "very peaceful."

"It was right for him. It was so gentle. It was just like somebody took him by the hand and off he went," Sophie said in a video obtained by Sky News.

"Very, very peaceful," she added. "And that's all you want for somebody isn't it?"

She also said that she thinks members of the royal staff likely have positive memories of Prince Philip.

"They all have got stories to tell, and most of them are quite funny," she said.

The Spanish king and Prince Philip are distantly related, so they addressed the letter to the Queen to "Aunt Lilibet," which is a familial nickname for Queen Elizabeth, according to Hola magazine.

"We were deeply saddened to hear of the passing of our dear Uncle Philip," the letter said, according to Hola. "We will never forget the occasions we were able to share with him and the legacy of service and dedication to the Crown and the United Kingdom that he always carried out at your side.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with Your Majesty and the whole family," the note went on to say.

Queen Rania, who has been married to King Abdullah of Jordan since 1993, was featured on ITV's "A Royal Salute." She praised Philip's life of public service in the special.

"I'm sure there were times when it couldn't have been easy for him," she said. "Of course, he's human at the end of the day and he has his passions and his interests but he managed to find a way to pursue those things and at the same time just be there, a constant anchor for her majesty."

"I think she probably wouldn't have been able to carry on her journey the way she did without him by her side," the Queen added, speaking of Queen Elizabeth.

King Willem-Alexander, Queen Máxima, and Princess Beatrix released a statement about Prince Philip's passing on April 9.

"It is with great respect that we remember His Royal Highness Prince Philip," the statement read. "Throughout his long life, he committed himself with dedication to the British people and to his many duties and responsibilities. His lively personality never ceased to leave an unforgettable impression."

"Our deepest and most heartfelt sympathy goes out to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth and all the members of the Royal Family," the family said.

The Belgian monarchs released a statement about the prince's passing on April 9.

"Deeply saddened by the passing away of His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh," they wrote. "We wish to express our deepest condolences to Her Majesty The Queen, the British Royal Family and the people of the United Kingdom."

The King released a statement through the royal family's website.

"Our thoughts are with Queen Elizabeth and the rest of her family," the statement read. "We also send our condolences to the British people."
