The Bermudian magazine joined millions in the United Kingdom and around the world in mourning the death of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh at the age of 99 in 2021.
Prince Philip visited Bermuda numerous times, first with Queen Elizabeth in November 1953, following her ascent to the throne at the start of their six-month tour of the Commonwealth and colonies. It was the first visit to the island by a sitting monarch. He returned with the Queen for official visits in 1975, 1994 and in 2009 to celebrate the 400th anniversary of English settlement of Bermuda. The Duke also made visits on his own in 1959, 1962, 1964, 1989, 1990, and again in March 1991 when among other duties, he made presentations to Duke of Edinburgh Award winners, in a ceremony at Government House.
The people of Bermuda always welcomed the Queen and Prince Philip warmly and with fanfare.
