The REAL reason why Prince Philip was ‘VERY disappointed’ with Meghan Markle

According to broadcaster Gyles Brandreth, Philip was left vexed by the decision and claimed he was ‘the only man in the country not allowed to give his name to his own children’.

Philip soon got over the surname debacle and committed himself to serving the country and his wife.
The Duke was patron of 800 organisations including, most famously, the Duke of Edinburgh award scheme.

Upon his retirement from royal duties on August 2, 2017, Philip had already become the longest-serving British royal consort, having spent more than 70 years by the Queen’s side.

His dedication to the Crown and his wife did not go unnoticed. In Elizabeth’s speech to mark her Diamond Jubilee in 2012 she paid tribute to Philip, describing him as her ‘constant strength and guide’.
Paying tribute to her husband at his funeral in April 2021, the Queen left a handwritten note on top of Prince Philip’s coffin, nestled alongside a wreath of white blooms she had chosen, including lilies, roses, freesia and sweet peas.

What was written below was hidden in the flowers, but some reports have suggested the Queen signed it off as ‘Lilibet’ – his nickname for her – in a touching final tribute to their marriage.
