His love affair with the Queen


On the altar of St. George's Chapel, nine of the Prince's hand-picked badges are displayed, including those showing his Greek and Danish ancestry, as well as his Royal Air Force Wings and Field Marshal's scepter.

Over the course of his military career, Prince Philip has received MEDALS from more than 50 countries.

There were no eulogies or sermons from the royal family, but the Archbishop of Windsor and the Archbishop of Canterbury respectively read scripture, led prayers and chanted hymns by the choir.

Prince Philip himself designed the music for the service, which was made up of his favourite songs. It begins with The bugles of the Royal Marines and ends with the British national anthem, "God Save The Queen."

After the funeral, Prince Philip's coffin was taken to the royal burial chamber under St. George's Chapel.

Even if you've never followed the British royal family, you've probably learned more or less about Prince Philip's life and his love affair with Queen Elizabeth in recent days.

So we won't go into the details, but want to share a few things you might not know.

About Prince Philip.

He's actually a very good dresser. As recently as 2016, the 94-year-old Prince Philip was ranked 12th on the British edition of GQ's "50 Best Dressed British Men" list, the highest ranking of any royal on the list.

Prince Philip is so confident in his style that he wears a navy suit with a shirt and tie better than anyone else.

In his nearly a century of life, he has never been a slave to fashion, he knows exactly how he wants to dress and has perfected his own style.

Whether attending a polo match, performing royal duties, or even at his own wedding, he always dressed in the best clothes for the occasion at hand.

Of course, all this is also inseparable from his perfect body.

And then there's his love affair with the Queen.

If you have any knowledge of the British royal family, or if you have watched The Crown, you must know that the love between the Queen and the prince can never be called "perfect love" or "fairytale love".

In another touching detail of the funeral, the Queen placed a handwritten note on the prince's coffin. The contents of the note are unknown, but it is certain that it must be the Queen's final farewell to her husband of 73 years.

The Queen signed the note with her nickname, Lilibet.

The heartbreaking thing is that Prince Philip will be the last person in the world to call her Lilibet. Now, the only person in the world who called her that was gone.

What exactly is "perfect love"? Does "perfect love" exist? In fact, it depends on everyone's definition of "perfect love".

The prince reportedly spent his final days at Windsor Castle with the Queen. Know each other for more than 70 years, hand in hand to face the ups and downs of life, accompany each other until the end of life, for many people, is already a very luxurious thing in love.

The perfection of love and marriage between the Queen and the prince depends, and only depends, on the Queen's own definition of "perfect love".

"He has been my strength and support for so many years. And I, his whole family, and this country, and many other countries, owe him a great deal more than we know or he says."

-- Queen Elizabeth, 1997
