You may have all heard the sad news that Prince Philip - Duke of Edinburgh has passed away. On the 9thApril, Buckingham Palace released the following statement; "It is with deep sorrow that Her Majesty the Queen

Aged 99, two monthsbefore his 100th birthday, the Duke was the longest-serving royal consort in British history. In private, the

Queen described her husband's death as "having left a huge void in her life".

He was also mentioned in dispatches for his serviceduring the Battle of Cape Matapan, where he saved his ship from a night bomber attack by spotting the enemy

Although Prince Philip gained his royal title due to his marriage, he was actually already a prince by birth.Philip was born to Prince Andrew, a son of King George I of Greece, and Princess Alice. He was the youngest

child of the couple and was their only son.He had four older sisters, Princess Margarita, Princess Theodora, Princess Cecilie and Princess Sophie, whohave all passed away. Princess Sophie died in 2001. When he was an infant, his family was exiled and he
