Since news of the death broke, outpourings of support have come from world leaders and friends of the royal family.

Here's what they have said:

Prince Philip's children

Prince Philip's children — Prince Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward — paid tribute to their father in a pre-recorded documentary last night, saying the Duke would like to be remembered as an individual “in his own right”.

"He didn’t suffer fools gladly so if you said anything that was in any way ambiguous, he’d go ‘make up your mind’, so perhaps it made you choose your words carefully," Prince Charles said. "He was very good at showing you how to do things and instructing you how to do things."

“My father was always a great source of support, encouragement and guidance. Never trying to control the activities we wanted to do, but always encouraging us,” Prince Edward said.

“He was a person you could bounce ideas off and if you were having problems you knew you could go to him. There was a lot of leeway allowed in pushing your own boundaries,” Princess Anne added.

“Without him, life will be completely different. From society’s perspective, he was able to keep pace with the kind of technological changes that have such an impact… but above all that it’s not about the technology it’s about the people.”

"On behalf of the Australian people and the Australian Government, I extend our deepest sympathies and condolences to Her Majesty and the royal family for the passing and the death of the Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh," he said.

"Your Majesty, here in Australia and indeed across the world, your Commonwealth family joins in your sorrow and your mourning and that of your family.

"But also we give thanks for the life of who you described as your strength and your stay. Your Prince, Prince Philip.

"Husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather.

"The Duke's life was one of duty and of service, of loyalty and of honour.

"But above all, he was a man who was steadfast, who could be relied upon, always standing by his Queen.

"... Above all today, we think of our Queen.

"While your strength and stay, your Majesty, may not have passed, Jenny and I pray that you will find great comfort in your faith and your family at this time.

"She has been there for us over such a long time.

"Let us be there now for you, your Majesty, and allow us to send our love to you on this, I am sure, one of your most sad of days.

"I am sure her prince would join me in saying, God save our gracious Queen. Long live our noble Queen. God save our Queen."

"When we first met His Royal Highness Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, he and Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II had already been on the world stage for more than half a century — welcoming leaders like Churchill and Kennedy; Mandela and Gorbachev. As two Americans unaccustomed to palaces and pomp, we didn’t know what to expect, "he wrote.

"We shouldn’t have worried. The Queen and Prince Philip immediately put us at ease with their grace and generosity, turning a ceremonial occasion into something far more natural, even comfortable. 

"Prince Philip, in particular, was kind and warm, with a sharp wit and unfailing good humour. It was our first introduction to the man behind the title, and in the years since, our admiration for him has only grown. We will miss him dearly.

"As the world mourns his loss, we send our warmest wishes and deepest sympathies to the Queen, their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren; and everyone who knew and loved this remarkable man."

Former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull

Former PM Malcolm Turnbull shared his fondest memories of Prince Philip via Twitter on Friday night.

Farewell Prince Philip - always charming to this republican. But never more so than at Malta 2015 when he relived his young life with his young wife not yet a Queen. He spoke of love, adventure, eyes sparkling, he banished time. And we could see how he won Elizabeth’s heart.

Former Prime Minister Julia Gillard

I have fond memories of spending time with Prince Philip during his visit to Australia at the time of CHOGM in Perth. While a man of duty, he had a sense of fun.

His loss will be mourned by the Queen, his family and millions around the world.
