Prince Charles recalls the last conversation he had with his father Prince Philip

Prince Charles has recalled the last conversation he had with his father Prince Philip before he died.

The Duke of Edinburgh passed away at Windsor Castle on April 9, at the age of 99.

In an upcoming BBC One programme called Prince Philip: The Royal Family Remembers, the Prince of Wales revealed he spoke to his father the day before he died about planning his 100th birthday.

Speaking about their last conversation, Charles recalled telling Philip: “We’re talking about your birthday.”

After realising his father couldn’t hear him, Charles raised his voice and shouted: “We’re talking about your birthday! And whether there’s going to be reception!”

Philip then responded: “Well, I’ve got to be alive for it, haven’t I?”

Charles remembered telling his father: “I knew you’d say that!”

The Duke of Edinburgh passed away at the age of 99 on April 9 at Windsor Castle.

At the time, Buckingham Palace said in a statement: “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.”

Prince Philip: The Royal Family Remembers airs on Wednesday at 9pm on BBC One.
