Royal marriage 'rooted in Christ'

John Sentamu, the former archbishop, said, ‘There was an unbelievable depth of Prince Philip’s rootedness in Christ, and Her Majesty is exactly the same. I have not met a couple that are so free.’ He said he had prayed with them both; their prayers were never said aloud, but they would say amen. The royal family are proving they are no ‘different in grief from anybody else. They want to be part of the grieving for the nation, for the many people who died from Covid-19, and for those who have not been able to be present when their loved one is being buried.’ Dr Sentamu joked that Philip would have appreciated his shortened funeral service, because ‘the duke could not stand what he called “long church”'.

Prince Philip

After Prince Philip’s death on 9 April, Justin Welby said, ‘He consistently put the interests of others ahead of his own and provided an outstanding example of Christian service’. He was multi-talented, he supported charities tirelessly, and spent seven decades by the Queen’s side, supporting her at significant moments. The royal family is observing two weeks of mourning. On 13 April the Queen conducted her first in-person royal duty since he died, when she hosted a ceremony for the Lord Chamberlain to stand down.

Prince Philip in hospital

The Duke of Edinburgh was admitted to hospital as a ‘precautionary measure’ after feeling unwell on the evening of 16 February. The following day a Buckingham Palace spokesperson said the 99-year-old is ‘expected to remain in hospital for a few days of observation and rest’. It is understood the decision to admit him was taken with an ‘abundance’ of caution by his doctor and he is said to be in good spirits. He does not have a coronavirus-related illness, and walked into the hospital unaided.
