The British royal family has suffered a devastating loss. Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, and husband of Queen Elizabeth II, died at the age of 99. He passed away peacefully on the morning of April 9th, 2021, according to reports. The queen released a statement expressing her grief over the loss:

"It is with deep sorrow that Her Majesty The Queen announces 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. Further announcements will be made in due course. The Royal Family join with people around the world in mourning his loss."

The Duke's advanced age and increasing health concerns caused him to step away from public life in 2017, and he had been hospitalized several times in recent years due to his deteriorating health. Being reticent when it comes to private matters such as the health issues of members of the royal family, Buckingham Palace was generally vague about the reasons he was taken to the hospital, tending to say that the visits were "precautionary" in nature.

One such visit was in December 2019, just before Christmas. He was also admitted to the hospital in February 2021, at which time the only specifics given were that he was "feeling unwell," but not due to any complications with COVID-19. According to the BBC, Prince Philip lived a very healthy lifestyle — he quit smoking on his wedding day and did not drink heavily — which helped him live as long as he did.

Born a prince of Greece and Denmark in 1921, Philip married his distant cousin Princess Elizabeth of England in 1947. Since then, he has been one of the most publicly active members of the British royal family. According to Britannica, he had made over 22,000 appearances by the time he retired from public life in 2017. His philanthropic efforts included a stint as president of the World Wildlife Fund in the 1980s and '90s. He founded the Duke of Edinburgh's International Award, which fosters youth community service projects across the globe. He was also named the lord high admiral of the Royal Navy, its titular leader, on his 90th birthday in 2011.
