Book Description
When an eight-month-old baby Prince Philip was ferried off the shores of the Corfu Island in Greece in a fruit carton, nobody would have thought he would one day reach such heights as to occupy a distinguished position in the British royal family. Prince Philip’s life from an abandoned, homeless little infant to being the Queen’s consort is nothing short of legendary. When the reserved and coy 18-year-old Elizabeth told her father that the tall, handsome navy officer with blue eyes was the only man she could ever love King George VI was only bemused. But the Queen stood firm on her ground and the princess got her prince soon after she turned 21. That marriage was amidst a lot of crisis and Britain was only healing from a post-World War Two havoc. With its economy in doldrums, its population in distress, Princess Elizabeth’s fairytale wedding was seen as a harbinger of all good things. The marriage lasted seven decades, like a vow taken, the Queen religiously kept her marriage afloat and Prince Philip stayed with her through thick and thin. With Prince Philip’s death on April 9th, the longest marriage in the history of English monarch has come to a solemn close. His death was followed by emotional messages and sweet remembrances by all in the extended royal family, from Prince Charles, his first born, to his grandchildren Prince William and Prince Harry. But was it always lovey-dovey between the royals or is it all a façade they carry?
