For those wishing to leave a message, an e-book of condolence is available on the official Royal website (www.royal.uk) or by emailing [email protected].
Cabinet Office guidance issued on 11th April suggests that in order to comply with COVID-19 restrictions in place, and to prevent the spread of infection, members of the public are respectfully asked not to lay flowers or other memorial items such as candles, messages and mementoes, at Royal Residences or other public spaces.
The guidance also suggests that making a donation to one of His Royal Highness’ many patronages is a fitting way of paying tribute to his remarkable legacy. A list of His Royal Highness’ patronages, and how you can donate can be found on the Royal Website.
