He retired from his official duties in 2017 to spend time in private.

However some people are remembering Princess Diana upon the passing of Prince Philip
Diana, the famous British royal who captured the hearts of millions of people across the world when she married Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth’s eldest son Prince Charles in 1981 passed away in 1997. Despite having passed away 13 years ago Princess Diana has still captured hearts around the world and as beloved everywhere.

The British Royal Family has had a tumultuous relationship with Diana and the passing of Prince Philip, her father-in-law, is reminding people of her
Because of her contentious divorce with Prince Charles, her public interviews about her rough life as a British royal and the Royal Family’s lack of quick and appropriate reaction at the time of her sudden death in 1997 has made people angry toward the Royals.
It doesn’t help that only recently Diana’s younger son Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle left the royal family accusing the family of bullying Meghan, an accusation similar to Diana’s. Meghan and Harry also alleged that the Royals were racist toward Meghan and their then unborn son – Archie.
There are several jokes about the reaction of Diana upon the passing of her father-in-law and meeting him “on the other side”

Some are even recalling how today is Diana’s ex, Prince Charles and his now wife Camila’s anniversary
Prince Charles and Camila had an affair while he was married to Diana so people are alleging that Diana’s spirit caused the death of Prince Philip on the wedding anniversary of Prince Charles as some sort of karma.
