The Duke has been a great support to the Queen, by her side on royal engagements for more than five decades. But the 95 year old says it’s time for him to step away from public life.
He is patron, president or a member of more than 780 organisations. He will continue to support them, but the Palace says he won’t play an active role. He may still though choose to attend certain public events from time to time.
The Palace also says the Queen will continue to carry out a full programme of official engagements.
