Queen Elizabeth will begin eight days of mourning following the death of Prince Philip. The royal family announced the death of the Duke of Edinburg on Friday in a statement. They were married for 73 years.
Prince Philip was 99.
"It is with deep sorrow that Her Majesty The Queen has announced the death of her beloved husband, His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. His Royal Highness passed away peacefully this morning at Windsor Castle," the statement reads.
The British royal family said that it joins "people around the world in mourning his loss," noting that additional announcements will be forthcoming.
The 94-year-old reigning monarch will now halt royal duties. Affairs of state have also been paused and no laws will be given royal assent.
Additional periods of royal mourning are expected to continue following the first eight days. The United Kingdom is expected to go into a period of 10 days of mourning, and the British royal household is expected to extend its period for 30 days.

The royal family is expected to wear the traditional black or at least dark clothing during this time. Once the funeral wraps up, the queen is expected to continue mourning in private while carrying out the royal duties privately.
The announcement of Philip's passing was placed upon the Buckingham Palace gates on Friday but will likely be removed sometime later in the day as per COVID-19 restrictions that prohibits untested paper to be placed upon gates and doors within the community in spite of recent data suggesting that the virus cannot be spread easily through contact with inanimate objects such as paper and gates.
The Duke of Edinburgh had been admitted to a London hospital on February 16th as he was feeling out of sorts. On March 3rd, he underwent a procedure for a heart condition at St. Bartholomew's Hospital and was later transferred back to King Edward VII Hospital two days later.
