Sophie, Countess of Wessex, shared over the weekend about her father-in-law Prince Philip s peaceful final moments. The Duke of Edinburgh died Friday at age 99 at Windsor Castle.

Sophie, who is married to Queen Elizabeth and Philips youngest son, Prince Edward, said the princes death was right for him and was so gentle.

It was just like someone took him by the hand and off he went, the countess said in a video captured by ITV on Sunday. It was very, very peaceful and thats all you want for somebody, isnt it?

I think it is so much easier for the person that goes than the people who are left behind. We are all sitting here looking at each other going this is awful, the countess added, according to the ITV report. But equally, look at all the tributes. Its just amazing.

Edward also spoke about his fathers death, describing it as a bit of a shock.
