PRINCE PHILIP OF EDINBURGH – 99 YEARS OLD

Prince Philip of Edinburgh is perhaps the world’s most famous spouse. As the other half of England’s sovereign, Prince Philip has always lived his life in the background. However, long before he became the Queen’s husband, Prince Philip was already a regal heir. He was born Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark to Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark and Prince Alice of Battenberg. Unlike most royals, however, Prince Philip endured a challenging childhood, which continued well into his teenage years.

During his adult years, Prince Philip served on the frontlines as a naval officer. In 1946, Prince Philip officially asked for Princess Elizabeth’s hand in marriage, and the two wed on November 10, 1947. Throughout his royal life, Prince Philip has devoted himself to the service of the English crown. He is still doing so at his current age of 99. Though royal life has spared Prince Philip from ever worrying about loans, he has never failed to show his compassion and understanding to the people he and his family serve.
