The pair, who now live in California, mourned Philip’s passing in a short memorial on the homepage of their Archewell Foundation website.
“In loving memory of His Royal Highness, the Duke of Edinburgh,” the statement read, along with the years of his birth and death.
“Thank you for your service … You will be greatly missed.”
