JAKARTA - British Prime Minister Boris Johnson gives his reaction to the death of Prince Philip Mounbatten, husband of Queen Elizabeth II, in Downing Street on Friday, April 9.
Addressing Reuters, following British Prime Minister Boris Johnson's condolence speech.
'It's sad that some time ago I received word from Buckingham Palace that His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh has passed away at the age of 99.'
"Prince Philip has earned the affection of generations here in the United Kingdom, throughout the Commonwealth and around the world."
"She was the longest-serving Queen's companion in history, one of the last surviving people in the country ever to serve in the second World War at Cape Matapan, where she was mentioned in the delivery for the bravery and invasion of Sicily, where she saved the ship with her quick thoughts and from that conflict she took the ethics of service that she implemented throughout the unprecedented changes in the post-war era."
"Like an experienced expert, he helped steer the royal family and monarchy so that it remains an undeniably important institution for the balance and happiness of our national life."
"He was an environmentalist, and a champion of the natural world long before it became a fad."
"With the Duke of Edinburgh's award scheme, he shaped and inspired the lives of countless young people and at tens of thousands of events he cultivated their hopes and encouraged their ambitions."
"We remember the Duke for all this and above all for his steadfast support for His Majesty the Queen."
"Not only as a companion, by her side every day during her reign, but as her husband, strength and support for the Queen for more than 70 years."
"And for His Holiness, and his family, the minds of our nation must be turned today."
"Because they have lost not only a much-loved and highly respected public figure, but also a devoted husband and father, a proud and loving grandfather, and, in recent years, a great-grandfather."
"Speaking on their golden wedding anniversary, Her Majesty said that our country owes her husband, a debt greater than she will claim or we will never know and I am sure the estimate is correct."
"So we grieve today with Her Majesty the Queen, we extend our condolences to her and to all her family and we thank her, as a nation and royal, for the incredible life and work of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh," Boris Johnson said in memory of Prince Philip Mounbatten.
