Citing official court records, the outlet reported that the reception represented a formal acknowledgement of the Duke's long service and his position within the Royal Family.
The Duke's brother Prince Michael of Kent and sister Princess Alexandra were prominent among those who attended the party.
It said the Duke of Edinburgh joined the celebration alongside Princess Anne and her husband, Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, with the Duke of Gloucester also present.

"The Prince and Princess of Wales were also absent, taking time away from royal engagements whilst their children enjoy the October school holidays," GB News reported.
The Duke turned 90 on October 9 when members of the Royal Family marked the occasion with social media tributes.
