As the world reacts to the sad news that Prince Philip has died, we take a look back at his life as the Queen's constant companion. These words and pictures are taken from The Queen: A Life In Pictures.
Throughout his life Prince Philip was a constant presence by the Queen’s side. Just as Queen Elizabeth II is the longest-reigning British monarch, Philip held the record as the longest-serving consort. The couple was married for more than 70 years, and theirs was a love match right from the start. “She never looked at anyone else,” the Queen’s cousin Margaret Rhodes wrote in her memoir, The Final Curtsey.
