Prince Philip's Death: Biden, Other World Leaders Mourn

World leaders, including President Joe Biden, honored the memory of Britain's Prince Philip after news of his death on Friday at age 99. Prince Philip, also known as the Duke of Edinburgh, is the husband of Queen Elizabeth II.

The Bidens had extended their condolences to the royal family and acknowledged Prince Philip's remarkable life, Buzzfeed News reported.

"From his service during World War II, to his 73 years alongside the Queen, and his entire life in the public eye - Prince Philip gladly dedicated himself to the people of the UK, the Commonwealth, and to his family," Biden and his wife, Jill, said in a statement.

President Biden added that the Duke of Edinburgh's legacy would live on not only through his family but in all the charitable endeavors he shaped.

Previous U.S. presidents have also offered their condolences, including Donald Trump and Barack Obama.

Trump hailed Prince Philip for his exceptional example of "service, constancy, and patriotism," noting his military career as part of the Royal Navy.

Trump said that he and his wife, Melania had the opportunity to visit the United Kingdom, and they saw firsthand how the Monarchy epitomizes and carries on British people's virtues - "and no one did so more than Prince Philip."

On the other hand, the Obamas said they remembered the Duke of Edinburgh as warm and kind, "with a sharp wit and unfailing good humor."

"At the Queen's side or trailing the customary two steps behind, Prince Philip showed the world what it meant to be a supportive husband to a powerful woman," the Obamas said in their statement.

Former U.S. President George Bush also published a statement, saying that he and his wife are saddened to hear Prince Philip's death.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reminisced his memory with the Duke of Edinburgh, saying that he met him when he was just a child.

He also noted Prince Philip's service and sense of duty to others, adding that he will be remembered as a champion for young people, The Globe and Mail reported.

Prince Philip's Funeral

Meanwhile, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle updated their website, Archewell.com, to share a message honoring the Duke of Edinburgh's memory.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had been living in Canada and the U.S. since 2019. The couple was keeping in touch with Prince Harry's grandfather through video calls in recent months, according to a Yahoo News report.

Before his death, Prince Philip has been involved in planning his funeral with a code name Operation Forth Bridge.

But Prince Philip's funeral is likely to be smaller due to the current COVID restrictions, limiting rules about large gatherings.

There will not be as many heads of state in attendance or politicians. However, his family will be the ones to be at the funeral, including Queen Elizabeth II, to lead the family in mourning, according to another Yahoo News report.

Prince Charles and his wife, Camilla, will also be at the funeral, including the Cambridge family and the Sussex family.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle would have to test negative in their COVID tests in compliance with COVID restrictions if they would fly to go to Prince Philip's funeral.
