Wilson Center Mourns the Passing of His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh

Statement from the Right Honourable Baroness Catherine Ashton GCMG PC, Chair of the Global Europe Program.

The Woodrow Wilson Center notes with sadness the passing of HRH Duke of Edinburgh and we send our condolences to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and to the Royal Family on this loss.  Throughout 73 years at the side of Her Majesty, he served the family, country, and the Commonwealth, in an ever-changing world.  

As President Biden has said, “His legacy will live on not only through his family, but in all the charitable endeavors he shaped.”
