It was reported that the Duke of Edinburgh will already retire from doing public engagements and duties. But it was also made known that even if he is already retired from his duties, he will also make ways to appear in public maybe to accompany Queen Elizabeth.
Before the announcement of the much-awaited news, New York Times claimed that reporters and media from all over the world lined up outside the Buckingham Palace. It was told to them that the announcement will come out at 8:00 A.M but it came later that time.
So many speculations also escalated and clouded the press prior to the announcement. Some reporters even guessed that perhaps this has something to do with a death of a member of the royal family. Some of them even claimed that something bad happened to Queen Elizabeth or to Prince Philip.
Prince Philip is already 96 years old and with the reports published almost every day, he has been active in his public engagements. According to Daily Express, the Duke of Edinburgh was even hailed for his devotion for his duties as well as his undying support for Queen Elizabeth. Most people also admired his lasting marriage with the head of the monarch.
Reports also escalated before that Prince Philip even exceeded Prince William and Prince Harry when it comes to the number of days spent for the public and royal engagements. This only shows how dedicated is the Duke for his royal commitments.
Prior to Buckingham Palace's announcement for Prince Philip's retirement, some even gave hints that the special announcement has something to do with Harry's engagement to Meghan Markle. Even if he is already retired from doing public duties, people hope that his children and grandchildren will emulate his ways and his great commitment to the monarch.
