The document lists his full name as: "His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh formerly known as Prince Philippos of Greece and Denmark formerly known as Philip Mountbatten."
His first occupation is listed as "Naval Officer," while his second is "husband of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, The Sovereign".
Prince Philip passed away nearly a month ago, and Buckingham Palace announced the sad news with a statement that read: "It is with deep sorrow that Her Majesty The Queen has announced the death of her beloved husband, His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. His Royal Highness passed away peacefully this morning at Windsor Castle. The Royal Family join with people around the world in mourning his loss. Further announcements will be made in due course."
His funeral took place eight days later and was attended by only 30 people, including his grandson Prince Harry, who flew in from Los Angeles without his wife Meghan Markle, who is heavily pregnant and was advised not to travel by her doctors.
