His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh was Chancellor of the University of Cambridge for 35 years
It is with great sadness that the whole community of Lucy Cavendish College marks the passing of His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh today. Prince Philip was the official Visitor for the College in its formative years from 1984 to his retirement as Chancellor of the University of Cambridge in 2011.
He was genuinely interested in, and supportive of, the College’s development, enjoyed visiting it in person several times and, most significantly, attended the celebrations in 1998 on the granting of the Royal Charter to the College.
