Meeting Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, in 2007 was a highlight of my life. I knew one day I would pen this column, but I have dreaded it.
Queen Elizabeth’s beloved husband of 74 years has died. One knows the inevitability of death, but it is difficult to imagine Queen Elizabeth a widow, when the royal couple have been a constant of most of our lives. Prince Philip served uniquely well in a role that couldn’t have been easy. His was a remarkable public life that began far different than it finished. A glamorous and handsome figure, the media loved to portray his “gaffes,” but I found him engaging, charming and brilliantly funny when I had the honor to meet him.
On their golden anniversary in 1997, Queen Elizabeth paid tribute to her husband, saying, “He has, quite simply, been my strength and stay all these years.” Seventy-four years of matrimony is the longest of any British sovereign (George III and Queen Charlotte follow with 57 years). A queen who reigns in her own right (queen regnant) cannot have a spouse who outranks her. Hence, Prince Philip was “prince consort.” Serving in a suppoting role, always a step or two behind his wife could not have been for Philip, a sports-loving man’s man, the epitome of masculine charm.
