The story of how Prince Philip and the Queen fell in love. (PA/Canva)
The Queen’s husband of more than 70 years has passed away at the age of 99, Buckingham Palace has confirmed.
The Duke of Edinburgh was the longest-serving consort in British history after marrying Queen Elizabeth II in July 1947.
The loss of her beloved husband will be one of the most traumatic things the Queen has ever had to face.
Together for more than 70 years, the Duke of Edinburgh lived through the ups and down of the monarch’s life and reign with her.
In 2002, her Golden Jubilee year, the Queen lost both her mother and sister within weeks of one another. But Philip was at her side.
