Prince Philip made many visits to York and North Yorkshire over the years as our picture gallery shows PRINCE Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, made several memorable visits to York and North Yorkshire over his seven decades as the Queen s consort. The first was in 1949, just two years after his wedding to Princess Elizabeth, and three before she became Queen. Our picture shows him – as tradition dictated – walking behind the Princess alongside the civic party through Stonegate with York Minster in the background. His final visit was in April 2012 when he and Princess Beatrice accompanied the Queen on a visit to York as part of her Diamond Jubilee tour of the UK. During their time in the city they attended the Maundy Thursday service at York Minster.
