It fell to Martine to announce the death of HRH The Prince Philip in April 2021 on all of the BBC’s domestic and international English-speaking TV channels. She was praised for her professionalism and calm demeanour.


She was also on air when the terror attacks took place in London and Paris. Of the latter, former CBS News bureau chief David Henderson wrote that Martine “brought level-headed clarity to the attacks and horror in Paris with an understated, professional style that was a reflection, I believe, of television’s great news anchors … It’s been decades since I’ve witnessed such a high level of journalistic professionalism. Downright exciting.”
