I realize everybody's got to go sometime, but I feel sorry for the Queen. It's sad to lose a spouse after so many years together. I didn't pay much attention to him but he seemed like a good, solid guy and probably meant a lot to her.The Queen has announced that her husband passed away in Windsor Castle at age 99.
In the 73 years of marriage Phillip had to walk two paces behind his wife the Queen at all times.It seems like they were a good match in what must be a difficult way to live.

One of the cool things about Prince Philip was that he loved to cook out on the grill and did it a lot. You wouldn't expect that from him without knowing him.
That was an enjoyable video, thanks for the link.

During their engagement I read the Royal family did not approve of Phillip who had no financial standing and was in the Navy. In the end Elizabeth and Phillip ( Elizabeth's third cousin ) got married and were married for 73 years.WWII veteran. Signed up as a teenager, saw action with the NAVY & had his wings as an RAF pilot.
He looked like a guy you could have a beer with.
Well he was from the Greek and Danish Royal families, so I guess that counted.
He has a lot of them on YT, from his days as the royal chef. Some very good recipes and interesting anecdotes.
It is tough being a Royal. No one is allowed to start eating until the Queen starts to eat and when the Queen stops eating everyone present must stop eating their meal.My wife always walks a few feet behind me when we go shopping. Drives me crazy. I'm constantly looking behind me to see if she is still there or if she stopped to look at something. It's hard to have a conversation with someone behind you. Get up here and walk next to me, or at least get in front of me. Sheesh...
I could never be a royal.
My friend took this photo of The Queen and Prince Phillip on our trip to Scotland back in 2015.
We had seats next to the Royal Pavilion.
We were both pretty thrilled, I must admit.
