Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have paid tribute to Prince Philip, following his passing at Windsor Castle this morning.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who are currently living in California with their son Archie, shared the following statement in response to the sad news on their Archewell website:
"In loving memory of his Royal Highness, The Duke of Edinburgh, 1921 - 2021. Thank you for your service...you will be greatly missed." The sweet message, written in a classic font, takes up the entire page, leaving no space for an image of the late prince.
Prince William and Kate Middleton also shared their reaction to the duke's death, taking to their social media to honor Prince Philip with a touching photograph.

Prince Harry is expected to fly back to Britain for his grandfather's funeral by private jet, using a diplomatic exemption to evade the Covid-19 traveling restrictions between the US and the UK. Meghan, who is due to deliver the couple's second baby in July, is unlikely to join him.
The return will see Prince Harry meet face-to-face with Prince William for the first time since his emigration to the US. The relationship between the two brothers has reportedly been extremely tense since Harry and Meghan's bombshell Oprah interview, in which multiple claims were made against the Royal Family, including allegations of racism.
Prince William's conflict with Harry has been said to be the hardest thing he's been through since the death of his mother, Princess Diana. Harry described the nature of their current relationship as distant when speaking with Oprah, but emphasized that the pair will always support each other.
The duration of Harry's stay in the UK and his accommodation plans are yet to be confirmed.
