Prince Philip, Queen Elizabeth II's husband, has died aged 99, Buckingham Palace has announced.

The prince married Princess Elizabeth in 1947, five years before she became Queen, and was the longest-serving royal consort in British history.

A statement from Buckingham Palace said: "It is with deep sorrow that Her Majesty The Queen has announced the death of her beloved husband, His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.

"His Royal Highness passed away peacefully this morning at Windsor Castle."

RIP

R.I.P. Phil the Greek.

Prince Philip on the Duke of Edinburgh's Award.
In 2011 he told a group gathered at the Duke of Edinburgh's Award ceremony in Canberra he was persuaded to name the award after his title "against his better judgement".

"It's nice to be God and say, 'Let there be light', but people forget after having done that you need a lot of electricians to run the light and lay the cables and put the lights in," he said.

"All I can claim is — I was the head electrician."
