Happy Heavenly Birthday to Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh ♡

A great-great-grandchild of Queen Victoria, Prince Philip was born in Corfu to Prince Andrew of Greece & Denmark and Princess Alice of Battenberg on June 10th 1921.

Following education in France, Germany, and Britain, Philip joined the Royal Navy in 1939 and saw active service during World War II, including the Battle of Crete and the Allied invasion of Sicily.

He married the then Princess Elizabeth in 1947, and the couple shared four children together - King Charles III, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew & Prince Edward.

The Duke of Edinburgh served as the Consort to Queen Elizabeth II for over 60 years and became the longest serving British consort in 2009, and throughout his public life was patron, president, or member of over 700 organisations.

Today would have been his 104th birthday.

“I think I will best remember him as always being there, and a person you could bounce off ideas, but if you were having problems you could always go to him and know that he would listen and try to help.” - Princess Anne
