Amazon Quiz (March 28, 2022): This man was the husband of which British monarch?
Victoria II
Victoria
Elizabeth II
Elizabeth I
Answer: Elizabeth II
Prince Philip was never in line for the throne, which his eldest son is expected to inherit, and he never held the title of king.
This is due to the fact that in the United Kingdom, a woman who marries the monarch can use the ceremonial title of queen, but men who marry the monarch cannot use the title king, which can only be used by male sovereigns.
Prince Charles, 72, Princess Anne, 70, Prince Andrew, 61, and Prince Edward, 57, are the Queen and Prince Philip’s four children.
Prince Philip lived long enough to watch his eight grandchildren grow up and meet his ten great-grandchildren.
The Duke never forgot his family’s forced departure from Greece, and he believed monarchies needed to evolve in order to survive.
He organised informal lunches for the Queen to meet people from a variety of backgrounds. The footmen, who wore traditional uniforms as palace servants, stopped powdering their hair. When he discovered the palace was running a second kitchen solely for the royals, he had one shut down.
Some alterations were more personal, reflecting his youthful fascination with electronics. When Philip and the future Queen moved into Clarence House in 1949, before the Coronation, he gleefully installed an array of labour-saving devices, including one in his wardrobe that would evacuate a suit at the stroke of a button.
The Duke also advocated for the Royal Family, a 90-minute fly-on-the-wall BBC documentary that aired in 1969 and was regarded as historic television.
It showed the Queen feeding carrots to her Trooping the Colour horse, watching TV, and talking about salad over a Balmoral BBQ as Princess Anne prepared sausages.
Philip installed intercoms at Buckingham Palace so that servants would no longer have to deliver written messages to his wife. He carried his own luggage and prepared his own breakfast in his apartments using an electric frying pan – until the Queen complained about the odour.
