LONDON: <\/strong>Prince Philip,\u00a0Queen Elizabeth II’s husband\u00a0and the longest-serving consort of any British monarch, has died at age 99.<\/p>\n

Philip spent 65 years supporting the queen,\u00a0retiring from his public role\u00a0in 2017 and staying largely out of the view since. In his active years, he helped set a new course for the monarchy under a young queen, championing Britain itself, as well as environmental causes, science and technology.<\/p>\n

Philip\u2019s relationship with the young Princess Elizabeth began as a\u00a0story of young love.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe behave as though we had belonged to each other for years,\u201d Elizabeth wrote in a letter to her parents shortly after they married.<\/p>\n

\"FILES-BRITAIN-ROYALS-HEALTH-PHILIP-Britain-Prince-Philip-dies-at-age-99-rapidnews\"<\/p>\n

Over the years,\u00a0the queen\u00a0acknowledged Philip\u2019s deep influence on her, calling him her \u201cstrength and stay\u201d\u00a0in a speech\u00a0on their 50th wedding anniversary in 1997.<\/p>\n

\u201cI, and his whole family, and this and many other countries, owe him a debt greater than he would ever claim or we shall ever know,\u201d she said at the time.<\/p>\n

The intensely private prince will likely be remembered for his early efforts to help modernize the royal family\u2019s image during a time of great change for Britain and the world, especially at the outset of Elizabeth\u2019s reign in 1952. He also developed a reputation for the occasional brusque comment and crass, if not racist jokes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe queen inherited\u00a0from her father a model of monarchy that was very hands off, old-fashioned and slightly invisible,\u201d said Sarah Gristwood, a historian and the author of \u201cElizabeth: The Queen and the Crown.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt wasn\u2019t equipped to deal with a new media age, and Prince Philip played a huge role in moving it forward then.\u201d<\/p>\n

Philip helped bring the royals to life on television rather than through radio reports. He was the first member of the royal family to do a\u00a0televised interview and he presented a show on a royal tour of the Commonwealth. He is also said to have had a hand in televising the queen\u2019s coronation in 1953 and in organizing a groundbreaking 1969 television documentary about the family.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe helped create the model of the British royal family that has enabled it to continue forward into the 21st century,\u201d Gristwood said. \u201cWe may have lost sight of that now, but I hope we\u2019ll remember him for it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite being born into a royal family, Philip\u2019s early childhood was not typically royal.<\/p>\n

Born on June 10, 1921, on the Greek island of Corfu, he was the only son of Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark, and Princess Alice of Battenberg. Greece’s king, Philip’s uncle, was forced to abdicate when Philip was a baby, and the family fled to Paris, with\u00a0Philip famously carried to safety in a crib\u00a0made from an orange box.<\/p>\n

At age 7, he moved to England, where he lived at Kensington Palace, now home to Prince William. Philip lived there with his paternal grandmother, Victoria Mountbatten, and later attended Gordonstoun, a boarding school in Scotland.<\/p>\n

At 18, Philip joined the Royal Navy and graduated from the Britannia Royal Naval College as a top cadet. He saw active duty from the Indian Ocean to the Mediterranean, and in 1945 at the end of\u00a0World War II, he was in Tokyo Bay when the\u00a0Japanese surrendered.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Philip\u2019s military career was truly central to his character, unlike perhaps other royals, according to Ashley Jackson, a professor of imperial and military history at King’s College London.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s easy to look at the military career of a royal male and see it as a rite of passage, but with Philip one needs to look beyond that,\u201d he said. \u201cHe joined when he wasn’t anywhere near marrying the future queen. This was a career path for a Greek prince,\u201d he added. \u201cThis wasn\u2019t a brief dalliance in the military. It\u2019s important to note that he\u2019s clearly an exceptional officer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then known as Philip Mountbatten, he\u00a0first met his cousin Elizabeth\u00a0in 1934 at a family wedding. The two are both great-great-grandchildren of\u00a0Queen Victoria.<\/p>\n

The couple exchanged letters while Philip was overseas during the war, only occasionally seeing each other. They would go out driving in Philip\u2019s “tiny MG” sports car, as well as dancing at London nightclubs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
