The marriage between Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip was praised by the British media as the longest and most successful marriage mode in the history of the British royal family. As the heir to the throne, Elizabeth could not get married, so Philip gave up the right to inherit the Greek throne and became a British citizen. In 2007, when they celebrated the "Diamond Wedding", the Queen praised Prince Philip for "always being around, which is my advantage".
Prince Philip, who is 96 years old, officially retired this autumn and will no longer undertake royal official duties. Elizabeth II, 9 1 year-old, is the longest-serving monarch in Britain.
