Prince Philip

(1921–2021) · British Duke of Edinburgh

Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, was the husband of Queen Elizabeth II and the longest-serving royal consort in British history.

There was no precedent. If I asked somebody, 'What do you expect me to do?' they all looked blank. They had no idea; nobody had much idea.
Everyone has to have a sense of duty. A duty to society, to their family. I mean, you name it.
I reckon I've done my bit. I want to enjoy myself a bit now, with less responsibility, less frantic rushing about, less preparation, less trying to think of something to say.
I have frequently been misrepresented. I don't hate the press; I find a lot of it is very unpalatable.
It would have been very easy to play to the gallery, but I took a conscious decision not to do that. Safer not to be too popular. You can't fall too far.
