Prinţul Philip, soţul reginei Elisabeta a II-a a Marii Britanii, a încetat din viaţă. Prințul avea 99 de ani. Regina Elisabeta a II-a și prințul Philip s-au cunoscut în copilărie și s-au căsătorit din 1947. Cei doi au format cel mai longeviv cuplu regal din istoria britanică, fiind un exemplu de respect reciproc și înțelepciune și îngăduință.
Prințul Philip, o viață dedicată Reginei!
S-au căsătorit pe 20 noiembrie 1947 la Westminster Abbey. Elisabeta și Philip nu și-au încheiat ceremonia de nuntă cu un sărut. De fapt, acest lucru a devenit tradiție în rândul cuplurilor regale abia când prințesa Diana și prințul Charles s-au sărutat pe balconul Palatului Buckingham după nunta lor din 1981. La scurt timp, familia lor a început să se mărească, prințul Charles, urmat de Anne, Andrew şi Edward au apărut în viața lor.
Cuplul are patru copii, opt nepoți și 10 stră-nepoți.
