'An extraordinary man': William and Harry pay tribute to their grandfather Prince Philip

I particularly wanted to say that my father and I suppose the last 70 years is given the most remarkable devoted service to the Queen, to my family and to the country, but also to the whole of the commonwealth. And as you can imagine, my family now, miss my father enormously. He was a much loved and appreciated figure and apart from anything else I can imagine, and were so deeply touched by the number of other people here and elsewhere around the world in the commonwealth who also I think share ah loss. And I'm sorry and my my dear papa was a very special person who I think, above all else, would have been amazed by the reaction and the touching things that have been said about and from that point of who we are, my family, deeply grateful for all that it will sustain us in this particular loss. And at this particularly sad time. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah.

Prince Harry's office also issued a statement, describing Philip as a man who was "authentically himself."
