In a post on Facebook US former President Obama left his memory of Prince Philip behind. Regarding the first meeting he and his wife Michelle had with Philip and Queen Elizabeth, he says: “The Queen and Prince Philip immediately put us at ease and turned a ceremonial occasion into something much more natural, even comfortable.”

Yet he also found a way to lead without taking the spotlight: he served in World War II, commanded a frigate in the Royal Navy and traveled tirelessly around the world to champion British business and industry. British excellence. “
