The Duke of Edinburgh celebrates his 98th birthday today. The royal family shared several pictures of the Duke on social media, including a black and white picture of him in military uniform from 1953 to mark the event. Philip was born on the island of Corfu in 1921. He married Queen Elizabeth on November 20, 1947. Prince Philip announced his retirement from most public duties in May 2017 and has only occasionally been seen alongside the queen since then. The Duke spends most of his time at his Wood Farm cottage on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk. Happy Birthday, Prince Philip! |
