Matt Smith and Tobias Menzies, who both played Prince Philip on Netflix The crown, responded to his death on Friday.
Matt Smith said in a statement to Today: ‘I want to express my majesty to the Queen and the Royal Family. Prince Philip was the man. And he knew it. 99 and out, but what a turn. And what a style. Thank you for your service old mate – without you it would not be the same. ”
Tobias Menzies tweeted his reaction. ‘If I know anything about the Duke of Edinburgh, I’m pretty sure he does not want an actor who plays him on TV, who gives their opinion on his life, so I’ll leave that to Shakespeare. ‘Oh good old man! how well it appears in you. The constant service of the ancient world … ‘RIP.’
