<\/p>\nPrincess Anne on Sunday paid tribute to her late father, Prince Philip, hailing his \u201clife well lived\u201d and \u201clegacy which can inspire us all.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know it\u2019s going to happen but you are never really ready,\u201d said Anne of Philip, who died Friday aged 99 \u2014 less than a month after leaving a month-long stay in a London hospital where he had heart surgery.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cMy father has been my teacher, my supporter and my critic,\u201d said Anne, the 70-year-old only daughter of Philip and Queen Elizabeth II.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut mostly it is his example of a life well lived and service freely given that I most wanted to emulate,\u201d Anne said in a message shared on the royal family\u2019s social media pages.<\/p>\n
\u201cHis ability to treat every person as an individual in their own right with their own skills comes through all the organizations with which he was involved.<\/p>\n
\u201cI regard it as an honor and a privilege to have been asked to follow in his footsteps and it has been a pleasure to have kept him in touch with their activities.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI know how much he meant to them, in the UK, across the Commonwealth and in the wider world,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would like to emphasise how much the family appreciate the messages and memories of so many people whose lives he also touched. We will miss him but he leaves a legacy which can inspire us all.\u201d<\/p>\n
All four of Philip\u2019s children with the queen have spoken movingly of their father since his death.<\/p>\n His eldest son, Charles, the 72-year-old heir to the throne, on Saturday praised their \u201cdear Papa\u201d for \u201cthe last 70 years giving the most remarkable, devoted service to the queen, to my family and the country, and also to home.\u201d<\/p>\n \nHis other sons, Andrew, 61, and Edward, 57, then both spoke as they left Sunday service at the Royal Chapel of All Saints in Windsor.<\/p>\n Andrew said his mother \u201cdescribed it as having left a huge void in her life.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve lost, almost, the grandfather of the nation,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd I feel very sorry and supportive of my mother, who\u2019s feeling it probably more than everybody else.\u201d<\/p>\n Edward called Philip\u2019s death a \u201cdreadful shock\u201d but said the 94-year-old queen was \u201cbearing up.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Princess Anne on Sunday paid tribute to her late father, Prince Philip, hailing his \u201clife well lived\u201d and \u201clegacy which can inspire us all.\u201d \u201cYou know it\u2019s going to happen but you are never really ready,\u201d said Anne of Philip, who died Friday aged 99 \u2014 less than a month after leaving a month-long stay …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":31,"featured_media":68325,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[11185],"tags":[71500,71498],"yoast_head":"\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/nasimword.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/princess-anne-prince-philip-004-1024x682.jpg\")
