Remembering the Duke of Edinburgh
17 April 2021
Ahead of the funeral service for HRH Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, we ve taken a look through our archives for his visits over the years – with our patron, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and on his own.
We were honoured to welcome Prince Philip as the first Honorary Fellow of one of our founding societies, the Royal Institute of Chemistry, in 1952.
As covered at the time in our member magazine Chemistry in Britain, on 17 February 1969, Prince Philip and the Queen made their first visit to the Chemical Society to attend a reception celebrating the Society s recent move into the section of Burlington House in which our London team is still based.
