Commonwealth leaders offer condolences to the Queen

The heads of government of Australia, New Zealand and Canada, which are part of the British Commonwealth, have expressed their condolences to British Queen Elizabeth on the death of her husband, Prince Philip. He died at Windsor Castle on Friday at the age of 99.

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said on Twitter that Australians send their love and condolences to the Majesty and her family. “The prince has embodied a generation we will never see again,” he said of Philip, who has visited Australia more than 20 times. The flags in Australia are hung at half mast.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern expressed my condolences to the Queen on behalf of New Zealand. She writes that Philip has “encouraged many young New Zealanders” through the Hillary Prize, presented on behalf of the Duke of Edinburgh for 50 years. This award stimulates the personal and social development of young people.

Canada

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada, one of the largest countries in the Commonwealth after Australia, also responded on Twitter to Philip’s death. He calls him “a man of great determination and conviction, who was motivated to serve others.” “Prince Philip has made a tremendous contribution to our country and to the world.”

Philip, according to Trudeau, will be remembered as “a devoted philanthropist and a constant factor in the life of Queen Elizabeth”. The hearts of all Canadians, according to the Prime Minister, are with the Queen and the entire Royal Family.
