    Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, has died at the age of 99.

    He was admitted to London’s King Edward VII hospital on February 16, where he stayed for 13 nights before being transferred to St Bartholomew’s, a cardiac specialist NHS centre.

    On March 16, he was released from hospital, with sources saying he was in “good spirits”.

    Buckingham Palace has confirmed the Duke’s passing, via an official statement.

    Sky News reports:

    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.”

    Here’s that release on Twitter:

    The Royal Family join with people around the world in mourning his loss.

    Further announcements will be made in due course.

    Prince Philip, born on the island of Corfu in 1921, was married to Queen Elizabeth II for more than 70 years and became the longest-serving consort in British history.

    No official details have been released yet about the Duke’s funeral, but it is understood he will be given a royal ceremonial funeral rather than a state funeral, in line with his wishes.

    The Queen will sign off the final plans in the coming days.
