Harry and Meghan pay tribute to Prince Philip
It comes after Harry and Meghan paid tribute to Philip on their website, Archewell, on Friday.
In a short message posted to their Archewell website, the couple wrote: “In loving memory of His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh, 1921 – 2021.
“Thank you for your service… you will be greatly missed.”
Meanwhile, sources claimed the Duke of Sussex will “absolutely do his utmost to get back to the UK and be with his family”.
A source told the MailOnline: “He will want nothing more than to be there for his family, and particularly his grandmother, during this awful time.
“Meghan is obviously pregnant so she will need to take advice from her doctors about whether it is safe for her to travel, but I think Harry will definitely go.”
When is Philip’s funeral?
Philip’s funeral will take place at St. George’s Chapel.
The Palace said it will be a royal ceremonial funeral rather than a state funeral, which is in compliance with the late Duke’s own wishes.
The exact date has yet to be announced.
On Friday, a statement from Buckingham Palace confirmed Philip’s death.
It read: “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.
