Queen Elizabeth II was not quite the Queen of Hearts due to the royal lifestyle and protocols that she had to follow, which prohibited her from getting too close to society. Yet, it did not mean she was distant from her own in her personal life. Queen Elizabeth II had the utmost respect for her husband of 73 years, Prince Philip for which she was encouraged to pen a memorable speech on their 50th marriage anniversary, on November 20, 1997.
Prince Philip, the 96-year-old husband of Britain's Queen Elizabeth, is admitted to hospital with an infection and will miss the formal opening of parliament, but he remains in good spirits, Buckingham Palace says.
Britain's Prince Philip, the 95-year-old husband of Queen Elizabeth II, will retire from public engagements later this year, Buckingham Palace says.
Australia will no longer appoint knights and dames under the honours system, PM Malcolm Turnbull says.
The Queen presents her husband with his Australian knighthood in a ceremony at Windsor Castle.
