The Duke of Edinburgh is to stand down from royal duties for good from August, Buckingham Palace has announced.
Prince Philip, 95, is the longest serving consort in British history and the oldest serving partner of a reigning monarch.
Prince Philip will attend previously scheduled engagements but after August will not be accepting new invitations for visits.
His stepping down in August coincides with Prince William becoming a full time royal and giving up his air ambulance job.
Prime Minister Theresa May has "offered our deepest gratitude and good wishes" to the Duke.
The Duke of Edinburgh has done 22,191 solo engagements, 637 solo overseas visits, 5,493 speeches and has written 14 books in the course of his royal duties.
In 1928 he moved to England and later went on to join the Royal Navy. »
