1. Your Majesty,
The Grand Duchess and I are deeply saddened to learn of the
passing away of Your dear husband, Prince Philip.
The Duke of Edinburgh’s longstanding service for Your country
is unparalleled, starting in the Royal Navy, where Prince Philip excelled in
several battles during Second World War. He brought the same discipline and
intelligence to his activities as Prince Consort and will be fondly and
respectfully remembered for his strong support and dedication to Your
Majesty, Your family and the United Kingdom.
Personally, we hold many great memories of our meetings over
the past decades. Not only his earnest commitment to social and
environmental causes, but also his wit and humour impressed us deeply. The
friendship that Your Majesty and His Royal Highness shared with my late
parents, still holds a special meaning for my family.
Together with the people of Luxembourg, we send Your Majesty,
Your family and the people of the United Kingdom our sincere condolences and
deepest sympathies.
Henri
Luxembourg, 9 April 2021
Her Majesty The Queen
