His replacement, former MI5 chief Andrew Parker, assumed his new duties a little more than a week before Prince Philip died, the BBC reported. The MI5 is the United Kingdom’s domestic security service.
Plans for Prince Philip’s funeral have been scaled back because of the coronavirus pandemic but are still in keeping with the prince’s wishes, according to Buckingham Palace, the report said.
