Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have paid tribute to his grandfather, the Duke of Edinburgh, who died on Friday aged 99.
Prince Philip died at Windsor Castle on 9 April, Buckingham Palace confirmed.
Harry and Meghan updated their website, Archewell.com, on Friday afternoon, to share a message reading
“In loving memory of the Duke of Edinburgh” and the dates 1921-2021.
The website also said:
“Thank you for your service…You will be greatly missed.”
Harry and Meghan have been living in Canada and the US since November 2019, but were keeping in touch with his grandfather via video calls in recent months.
Earlier this year, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex sat down for an interview with US chat show host Oprah Winfrey in which they laid bare their grievances with the royal household.
The interview aired in the US and the UK when the Duke of Edinburgh was still in hospital in what became his longest stay at four weeks, during February and March.
The couple faced criticism for the date the show aired, but they did not have any control over the decision.
While they did make some significant claims about their time as senior royals, including an allegation of racism, they exonerated the Queen and Prince Philip from those allegations.
In a previous interview with James Corden, Harry had revealed he had been keeping up with the Queen and Philip via video calls, and that the great-grandfather had been able to watch Archie playing in their new Californian home.
But he died before he was able to meet his 11th great-grandchild, as the Duchess of Sussex has not yet given birth to her second child.
Asked about whether the Queen can use Zoom, Harry said:
“Both my grandparents do, we have Zoomed them a few times.
“They’ve seen Archie running around.
“But my grandfather instead of pressing leave meeting, he just goes ‘doof’,” he said miming closing a laptop.
