THE Duke of Edinburgh was his family's "idol", treasured for his "selflessness, lack of ego, and sense of humour", says his German great niece.
Princess Xenia of Hohenlohe-Langenburg praised Prince Philip for being "like a glue for the family, because sadly a lot of our grandmothers passed away, much too early."
Princess Xenia of Hohenlohe-Langenburg is one of Prince Philip's German relatives.
Princess Xenia of Hohenlohe-Langenburg is Prince Philip's great niece.
She is the granddaughter of Philip’s late eldest sister, Princess Margarita.
Prince Philip was born on June, 10, 1921, to Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark and Princess Alice of Battenberg on the Greek island of Corfu.
Philip had four older sisters, Princess Margarita, Princess Theodora, Princess Cecilie, and Princess Sophie, who have all passed away.
Philip became the only remaining sibling after youngest sister Princess Sophie died in 2001.
Metro reports that the Duke of Edinburgh and the Queen asked Margarita - who died in 1981 - to be Princess Anne's godmother.
Princess Sophie, who passed away in 2001, was godmother to Prince Edward.
Speaking from Munich, Germany, Princess Xenia of Hohenlohe-Langenburg told the BBC, "to all of us, he was an idol", and that it was a "huge honour" for members of her family to attend Prince Philip's funeral.
She said: "It's a huge honour obviously, and having spoken to my brother yesterday, he was just saying it's a very special time for [the] cousins to be together, and to be representing what is a huge part of the Duke of Edinburgh's family.
"There were 16 direct cousins, descendants of his sisters, direct cousins of the Prince of Wales, that's a huge number of people.
"And that there's three of them (descendants) that are able to represent us is obviously a huge honour and is deeply felt."
Asked for her memories of the prince, she replied: "To all of us he was a huge idol, somebody to look up to, we had enormous respect for him, it was always very exciting when he came to visit.
"The way he lived his life, his motto - an unwritten motto for us - discipline, selflessness, lack of ego, but also his sense of humour, always underlying all of that.
"But his hard work, and the philosophy that the Duke of Edinburgh Awards have given so many young people, it's something that is constantly underlying our lives, and it's certainly something that I've always aspired to live up to.
"And he's been like a glue for the family, because sadly a lot of our grandmothers passed away, much too early.
"But he was always there; he was the link so he brought all of us cousins even though we were in Germany - a lot of us, but not all - he brought us together on a lot of family occasions, the last one having been his 90th birthday celebrations ten years ago at Windsor.
"We were all there. There was a huge bunch of us, and it was lovely."
Princess Xenia isn't attending the Duke of Edinburgh's funeral on Saturday, April 17, 2021.
But her brother Prince Philipp of Hohenlohe-Langenburg is one of 30 mourners at the socially distanced funeral in Windsor.
Philip's immediate family - including the Queen , Princess Anne, Princes Charles, Andrew and Edward - obviously top the list of mourners.
All of the duke's grandchildren and their spouses including William, Harry, Eugenie and Beatrice are also attending.
Three of Philip's German relatives - Bernhard, the Hereditary Prince of Baden; Donatus, Prince and Landgrave of Hesse; and Prince Philipp of Hohenlohe-Langenburg - are among the attendees.

Princess Xenia of Hohenlohe-Langenburg spoke of the Duke of Edinburgh’s selflessness, humility and a grand sense of humour on Saturday. She was sadly not in attendance at Prince Philip ’s funeral due to limits of the number of mourners. She was represented at the funeral by her brother who is one of three more distant relatives invited to the ceremony in Windsor.
The Queen took steps to include German relatives of Prince Philip in the ceremony on April 17.
Despite tough restrictions on mourner numbers due to coronavirus restrictions, two of the Duke of Edinburgh’s great-nephews and a distant relative were invited to the ceremony.
Bernhard the Prince of Baden, Prince of Hohenlohe-Langenburg and Prince Donatus are among the 30 mourners invited to Prince Philip's funeral at Windsor Castle on April 17.
Bernhard, Hereditary Prince of Baden, is a great-nephew of the Duke’s and is the head of the House of Baden and the grandson of the Duke's second sister, Princess Theodora.
Prince Donatus, Landgrave of Hesse is related to the Duke by marriage through the first husband of Prince Philip's youngest sister, Princess Sophie.
Prince Philip’s great-niece Princess Xenia of Hohenlohe-Lagenburg called the Duke of Edinburgh an “idol” for younger Royal Family members.
Her brother, Prince Philipp of Hohenlohe-Langenburg, was counted among the 30 mourners attending the funeral this afternoon in Windsor.
Speaking from Munich, Princess Xenia told the BBC: “To all of us, he was an idol, he was somebody to look up to, we had enormous respect for him and it was always very exciting when he came to visit, and he came often.
“And this has become clear to me in the week since he's died - the way he lived his life, his motto, which was an unwritten motto for us, this discipline, this selflessness, this lack of ego, but also his sense of humour always underlying all of that.
“His hard work and the philosophy that the Duke of Edinburgh Awards have given so many young people is something that is constantly underlying our lives, and it's certainly something that I've always aspired to live up to.”
Princess Xenia is the sister of Philipp, Prince of Hohenlohe-Langenburg.
Philipp is the grandson of the Duke’s late eldest sister Princess Margarita Bernhard, 50.
This means he is the great-nephew of Prince Philip.
He is the middle child and only son of Kraft Prince of Hohenlohe-Langenburg – Margarita’s son – and his first wife, Princess Charlotte of Croÿ.
In a statement about being invited to the funeral, he said: “It really is an incredible honour and we are all extremely touched and privileged to be included on behalf of the wider family.”
Discussing her brother’s attendance at the funeral, she said it is a special time for her brother to be with her royal cousins.
She said: “It's a huge honour, obviously, and having spoken to my brother yesterday, he's just saying it's a very special time for the cousins to be together and to be representing what is a huge part of the Duke of Edinburgh's family.
“You just have to think that there were 16 direct cousins of the Prince of Wales... that's a huge number of people, and there are three descendants that are able to be there to represent us is a huge honour and is deeply felt.”
The Duke of Edinburgh had four older sisters: Princess Margarita, Princess Theodora, Princess Cecile and Princess Sophie.
He was the last survivor of his siblings, with his youngest sister Sophie having died in 2001.
All his sisters married German aristocrats after they fled their Greek home when Philip was a young boy.
Princess Margarita, who was the first great-great-grandchild of Queen Victoria, died in Germany in 1981 aged 76.
