Posted: Friday, April 9, 2021 09:59 The thoughts of Canadians are with Queen Elizabeth and the royal family as they mourn the passing of Prince Philip on Friday, says Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, was 99 and was the longest-serving royal consort in British history. “A man of great service to others – first as a decorated naval officer and later as a dedicated leader in the areas of community engagement and philanthropy – the Duke always sought out the best in people and challenged them to strive for greater heights,” Trudeau said. Prince Philip maintained a special relationship with Canada and particularly with the Canadian Armed Forces, Trudeau said. In 2011, he was named honorary general of the Canadian Army and the Royal Canadian Air Force, as well as honorary admiral of the Royal Canadian Navy.
