The Queen marked what would have been her husband's 100th birthday with the planting of the Duke of Edinburgh Rose.
Philip, who was born on the Greek island of Corfu on June 10, 1921, married then-Princess Elizabeth in 1947 ― five years before she became queen at age 25. Their marriage lasted 73 years, making Philip Britain’s longest-serving consort. The queen has called her husband her “strength and stay” in public.
He devoted his life to royal service, taking on tens of thousands of engagements and accompanying the queen on official visits to some 140 countries. He retired from royal duties in 2017, at age 96. Today we remember His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh, on what would have been his 100th birthday.Visit
