According to the Telegraph, the death certificate of the prince declared that he died of advanced age, based on the document.

Sir Huw Thomas, the royal doctor, confirmed the manner of death, saying that no disease or injury has contributed to his death.

This includes his heart condition, which required an operation just weeks before he passed away.

Sources stated that the prince is over 80-years old, and old age why he died was applied. The doctor in attendance has been taking care of Philip for a long time.

Brigadier Archie Miller-Bakewell, his private secretary, documented the death with both the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead four days following his death.

His full name is listed on the certificate: "His Majesty the King Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, known before as Prince Philippos of Greece and Denmark, and Philip Mountbatten was used to be Prince Philippos of Greece and Denmark."

Husband of Queen Elizabeth is listed as his first occupation, followed by "Naval Officer."

Bakewell was mentioned as the informant. He led a small group of loyal staff members who marched behind the Duke's coffin at his funeral. By this time, Prince Philip's cause of death was known.
