..........US President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden said in a statement: "Philip gladly dedicated himself to the people of the UK, the Commonwealth, and to his family. The impact of his decades of devoted public service is evident in the worthy causes he lifted up as patron, in the environmental efforts he championed, in the members of the Armed Forces that he supported, in the young people he inspired."


Former US President Barack Obama praised the late Prince as "an extraordinary many" who "showed the world what it meant to be a supportive husband to a powerful woman," he wrote on Facebook.
"Yet he also found a way to lead without demanding the spotlight -- serving in combat in World War II, commanding a frigate in the Royal Navy, and tirelessly touring the world to champion British industry and excellence," he added.

US Vice President Kamala Harris just released a statement on the death of Prince Philip.

"His Royal Highness Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, led a long, remarkable life—the hallmarks of which were loyalty and service," Harris said.

"From his decorated service in the Royal Navy during World War II to his long marriage and partnership with Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, he dedicated himself fully to his family, his country, and the Commonwealth. Whether he was promoting environmentalism or the wellbeing of military families, he brought a profound sense of purpose to all he did," she continued.

Harris and second gentleman Doug Emhoff also sent their condolences.
