Prince Philip’s cause of death has been ruled as old age, a few days after his death was announced and his burial.
Prince Philip’s cause of death reportedly surfaced, and it’s simply stated as “old age” according to the Daily Telegraph, which says it obtained his death certificate.
According to experts, citing old age is acceptable for someone over 80 who had one doctor look over his care for years and if there’s no other identifiable disease or injury responsible for the death.
So, the obvious issue is Queen Elizabeth’s husband had a number of ailments in his later years, including a heart scare just months before he passed. Still, “old age” is what Buckingham Palace is going with.
99-year-old Philip died last month, and the Royal Family held a grand funeral procession for him. Prince Harry flew in from the States for the ceremony and got some face time in with his brother and father the first time he’d seen them since his and Meghan’s bombshell interview with Oprah.
One last thing about Prince Philip’s death certificate revealed is his full name.
His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh formerly known as Prince Philippos of Greece and Denmark formerly known as Philip Mountbatten.
His occupations were Naval Officer, and Prince of the United Kingdom.
