The Duke of Edinburgh

1921–2021

We are deeply saddened to learn of the death of His Royal Highness, Prince Philip, Duke Of Edinburgh.


Although the Duke of Edinburgh was not one of our Patrons, he visited the ROH on a number of occasions throughout his life, often in support of other members of the Royal Family. The Duke lived a long and eventful life and won widespread respect for his steadfast and constant support of the Queen, as well as his decades of charitable work for charities up and down the country.

We send our deepest sympathies to all other members of the Royal Family at this sad time.
