Vale Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh

Chair of the Australian Republic Movement Peter FitzSimons AM expressed his condolences to the British Royal Family on behalf of the Movement following the passing of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.

“For almost 70 years he provided unwavering support to Australia’s Head of State, Queen Elizabeth II, making a significant contribution to the community as Consort of the British Monarch and patron of more than 800 organisations. His service shaped the lives of hundreds of thousands of people.” Mr FitzSimons said.
