Faculty saddened by passing of His Royal Highness Prince Philip

It is with deep sorrow that the Faculty of Advocates heard the news that His Royal Highness Prince Philip has died.

 

His passing at Windsor Castle this morning was announced in a statement released by Buckingham Palace.

 

Roddy Dunlop, QC, Dean of Faculty said: “Prince Philip was a Member of Faculty for over 65 years, and was, we think, the oldest Member of Faculty. Faculty extends its sincere condolences to Her Majesty The Queen and the other members of the Royal Family.”

 

Prince Philip was admitted as an honorary Member of the Faculty of Advocates in 1955.
