  • Service with a smile: Prince Philip puts Land Rover hearse at heart of funeral he designed himself

    The Duke of Edinburgh’s coffin will be carried through the grounds of Windsor Castle in a modified Land Rover that he designed for the occasion himself. The funeral will take place next Saturday at 3pm, following a short procession in which the Prince of Wales and senior members of the Royal family will follow the coffin on foot as it is driven to St George’s Chapel. The Queen will not take part in the procession. It will be a royal funeral like no other, with Royals adhering to Covid-19 guidelines by wearing masks throughout the ceremony and maintaining social distancing. A Buckingham Palace spokesperson confirmed that it would not be a state occasion, in accordance with the Duke’s wishes, but a ceremonial royal funeral in line with the Queen Mother’s funeral in 2002. Her Majesty gave final approval to the plans, which “very much reflect the personal wishes of the Duke" who died peacefully at home in Windsor Castle on Friday morning.

    Prince Philip, the late husband of the United Kingdom's Queen Elizabeth II, will be laid to rest next Saturday, Buckingham Palace has announced. The ceremony, which will take place at St. George's Chapel in Windsor, will reportedly contain many traditional customs associated with the death of a royal family member; however, attendance will be scaled down because of COVID-19 restrictions. The Duke of Edinburgh, who died Friday morning at 99, will not lie in state anywhere accessible to the public so as not to draw oversized crowds, but the funeral will be televised, and eight days of national mourning will precede the event. A Land Rover will carry the duke's coffin from Windsor Castle to St. George's, a nod to his preference for driving himself without a chauffeur, CNN notes. Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex and Prince Philip's grandson, will travel from the United States to the U.K. for the funeral.

  • They were told to stay away, but crowds paying tribute to Duke of Edinburgh had other ideas

    They came to mourn his death and celebrate his life. At Buckingham Palace, at Windsor Castle and at Sandringham, wellwishers ignored the “stay away” warnings to pay their respects. The day after the Duke of Edinburgh’s death, Britain woke up to realise that the man who had been an ever-present fixture, a steadying hand across the decades, was no longer with us. In the first full day of mourning, the military paid its tribute with a Death Gun Salute at midday, 41 rounds fired at one round a minute for 40 minutes at locations including London, Edinburgh, Belfast and Cardiff as well as the overseas territory of Gibraltar. At sea, guns were fired from Royal Navy warships saluting “one of their own”.

  • Revealed: how retirement brought the no-nonsense Duke of Edinburgh the simple pleasures he craved

    He had spent most of his adult life cosseted in palaces and castles, but craved modesty and simplicity, and in retirement Prince Philip finally, briefly, got his own way. His private nirvana was the quiet, peaceful home he made for himself at Wood Farm on the Sandringham Estate, where he could live out his years reading, painting, birdwatching, carriage-driving and entertaining his closest friends. “I reckon I’ve done my bit,” he said in an interview to mark his 90th birthday, “so I want to enjoy myself a bit now, with less responsibility, less frantic rushing about, less preparation, less trying to think of something to say. “On top of that, your memory’s going, I can’t remember names and things,” he admitted. “It’s better to get out before you reach the sell-by date.” Painting, sport, writing – the hobbies that made Prince Philip tick The Duke of Edinburgh was surely alone in believing he had reached his “sell-by date”, even when he did finally retire in 2017, but no one, and certainly not the Queen, would dispute that he had “done his bit”. By the time the Duke stepped down from his full-time role in August 2017, when he attended a rain-sodden parade in front of Buckingham Palace in his role as Captain General of the Royal Marines, he had completed 22,219 solo engagements, as well as countless others with the Queen.

  • Rapper DMX Dead at 50 After Week on Life Support: ‘A Warrior Who Fought Till the Very End’

    John Lamparski/GettyThe rapper DMX, who left his gritty mark on hip-hop with the 1990s hits “Party Up,” “X Gon’ Give it to Ya,” and “Get at Me Dog,” has died nearly a week after a heart attack caused by a suspected drug overdose, according to a family statement given to PEOPLE. He was 50.“We are deeply saddened to announce today that our loved one, DMX, birth name of Earl Simmons, passed away at 50-years-old at White Plains Hospital with his family by his side after being placed on life support for the past few days,” the statement said. “Earl was a warrior who fought till the very end. He loved his family with all of his heart and we cherish the times we spent with him. Earl’s music inspired countless fans across the world and his iconic legacy will live on forever. We appreciate all of the love and support during this incredibly difficult time. Please respect our privacy as we grieve the loss of our brother, father, uncle and the man the world knew as DMX.”When DMX Was the King of Hip-HopHe had been on life support for almost a week. “It does not look good,” attorney Murray Richman had said on Saturday as the rapper’s family gathered in hospital. He was said to be in a vegetative state.In a statement, White Plains Hospital expressed condolences to DMX’s family and fans, and said he “passed away peacefully with family present after suffering a catastrophic cardiac arrest.”DMX paved the way for many of today’s most successful rappers, helping bring rap music to mainstream audiences in the 1990s. “Everybody knows the basics,” Daily Beast contributor Stereo Williams wrote on the 20th anniversary of DMX’s debut album It’s Dark and Hell Is Hot.“1997 was the year of shiny-suit dominance via sparkly videos from Puffy and Ma$e; the rapper born Earl Simmons growled his way through the dancey-flossin’ anthems to reassert hardcore hip-hop in the mainstream.”Born in Yonkers, New York, and sent to live in a group home by his mother, DMX spent his teens on the streets, carving out a reputation as a stick-up robber and a battle rapper before being signed by Def Jam.His first five albums debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard charts, and he earned three Grammy nominations. He was also a prolific actor, appearing in a number of films including the 1998 crime drama Belly with hip-hop stars Nas and Method Man. He also starred alongside Steven Seagal in the 2000 film Exit Wings and with Jet Li in the 2003 crime thriller Cradle 2 the Grave. Amid his success, he battled substance abuse, and he was soon making headlines for bad behavior instead of his music. In 2004, he and another man broke into the parking lot of New York’s Kennedy Airport, claimed to be an FBI agent, and then stole a man’s car. When police caught up to him, they found crack cocaine, painkillers, and a gun.In 2015, he was sentenced to six months in prison for failing to pay child support for some of his 15 children; his youngest child, Exodus, was born in 2016. He served a one-year sentence in 2018 for tax evasion. DMX canceled a number of shows in 2019 after checking himself into a rehab facility. When word that he was in the hospital, on life support, broke this weekend, a galaxy of hip-hop stars—from Missy Elliott to L.L. Cool J— paid tribute.“I love DMX SO MUCH. Praying hard for the king,” Sza tweeted. “Pull through, my dude,” Ice T urged.Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.
