His pet name for her was Cabbage (so much more elegant in French: mon petit chou!). I had so much fun writing the love story of Philip and Lilibet: IN ROYSAL SERVICE TO THE QUEEN releases June 29, 2021The epic, unlikely love story between Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip
www.washingtonpost.com
Philip was 18 years old and Elizabeth was 13 they first time they remember laying eyes on each other. Neither knew she was a future queen.
HRH The Prince Philip the Duke of Edinburgh died at Windsor Castle, he was 99.Reading the NYTs announcement I realized that the world would rather talk about the man's tactlessness, his apparent lack of sensitivity and, well, his overwhelming arrogance. It also reminded me that the British royal family are a complete enigma even to their own culture, and that this eccentric character belonged to another age and another time.
Best to try and remember Philip for his work in the many causes, trusts and charities including the conservation and preservation of wildlife. And that he was the affectionate, curious and forward-thinking young man who captured the heart of the the Crown Princess Elizabeth, in the days before royal precedence, rigid formality, Buckingham Palace courtiers and all the hoopla of monarchy got its hands on him.
