. >> reporter: tonight in london, 99 tolls at westminster abbey for prince philip's 99 years. queen elizabeth's husband, the longest serving royal spouse in british history, died at windsor castle earlier today. in covid safe tradition, masked palace aides brought out the announcement. it is with deep sorrow that her majesty the queen announces the death of her beloved husband, it said. the royal family join with people around the world in mourning his loss. the loss comes at a time of great struggle already. more than a year in this pandemic, there will be no crowds, but flowers and cards have made their way to palace gates. thoughts are especially with the queen, who has now lost her companion of more than 73 years. tonight a longtime friend of the duke. >> what will his loss mean for the queen? >> it'll be an enormous loss. the best way i ca think of putting it is that he wore the trousers in the family in order that the queen could wear the crown. he was there to deal with all the family stuff in order that she could be the monarch. >> reporter: he was born a prince, but i

even had we not been in the middle of a pandemic, we would not have been having a funeral at westminster abbeyll be at st george's chapel. he did plan it ahead. the land rover that his coffin will be carried in is one that he helped to design himself. so everything, really, has been planned by him and the queen, theyjust had to scale it down due to the current situation going on in the world right now. and can ijust ask you finally, just on the reaction we have been covering all through the day, the reaction from around the world, i just wanted to get your perception of what the reaction has been there in the united states? it was obviously breaking news at the beginning. everybody knows who the queen is, and obviously her consort. it has not stayed as main news here because we don't have a royal family. but i think people are very sad and feel sympathy for the royal family and the queen, she is very revered here, so people are really sympathising and expressing their condolences with her. they had a tribute to him on the nightly news last night, but now it is almost back to normal. but some o

had this been a normal funeral, especially if he laid in state in westminster abbey, which he didn't want to do, but if he did as the queen mother did, we would have had queues going all the way, lines across both bridges on the river thames. it would have been an enormous thing. >> wilfred, you hear the singing in the background. as you pointed out, that's all also restricted during this, as well. >> the congregation members will not be singing at the 30-family member. i think it is a 4-person strong choir which is, again, another sign of how tightly they're following the restrictions. commendable in that light. the thing i'd add about the public, as well, i would say prince philip in the last couple decades wasn't necessarily the favorite member of the family. always much loved. to see the level of respect, the level of outpouring this week, i think, shows the enduring love certainly in the uk, perhaps around the rest of the world, too, for the royal family as a whole. coming so soon after what has been a very tough period for the family. i think, most of all, love, sympathy, and r
