LONDON, Friday — Sad news came from the British Empire. Prince Philip, 99, husband of Queen Elizabeth II, passed away on Friday (9/4/2021). He was an important figure in the British Royal family for nearly seven decades. He was an image of loyalty.
Philip had been by his wife\'s side throughout her 69-year reign, the longest in British history. During that time he was known for his tough, no-nonsense attitude and occasional gaffes. Philip died just two months before his first century birthday.
