Palace: Prince Philip will stop carrying out engagements

LONDON (AP) — Queen Elizabeth II’s husband, Prince Philip, will stop carrying out public engagements this fall, Buckingham Palace announced Thursday.
The palace said in a statement that Philip, who is 95, has the full support of the queen in his decision. He will continue heading numerous charitable organizations but will not play an active role attending engagements.
In the past Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, has suffered heart problems but has maintained a vigorous public schedule.
