Unconsciously, almost a year had passed since the death of Prince Philip.
The man who was once called the most "strongest son-in-law on the surface" closed his eyes forever when he was approaching his 100th birthday and two months away, and finally failed to survive the age of maturity.
If companionship is the longest confession of affection, then Prince Philip has indeed done it.
After nearly a century of fighting with Queen Elizabeth, she was willing to be only the "king's man", guarding her like a bodyguard.
Married in 1947, the Queen and the Prince have worked hand in hand for 74 spring, summer, autumn and winter.
Counting the love period, this relationship must have 80 years.
It is not easy to be so persistent.
However, whether the marriage between the two is in love or a drama is a matter of opinion.
"Life is a splendid robe covered with lice."
Zhang Ailing's old saying, used to summarize the queen's marriage, is really very appropriate.
It looks glamorous and decent, but behind its back is a field of chicken feathers, filled with all kinds of human dog blood.
When he was young, Prince Philip was a handsome young man with an absurdly high appearance.
The height of 1 meter 9, with a handsome and handsome face and steel blue eyes, has captured the hearts of many girls.
Queen Elizabeth is also one of these young girls who are in the mood of spring.
At the age of 13, she met this naval officer in the vast sea of people, and she first tasted the heartbeat.
The ignorant Elizabeth did not realize that the so-called love at first sight was often a sight.
By the time she understood the true meaning of love, she was already in the graveyard of marriage and could not break free.
At that time, her father, George VI, had seen through Philip early on and decided that the man was unreliable.
Philip is nominally entitled "Prince of The Fallen", but in fact he is a "broken settlement".
Less than 2 years old, he went into exile and followed his parents to the fence.
After a hard time gaining a foothold in Britain, the father abandoned the family and the mother went insane.
No money, no power, no land, which prince is counted?
I have to admit that the old king's vision of people is still quite accurate.
In addition to pretense, Prince Philip's problems are far more than that.
As someone once said, if he hadn't been the Queen's husband, he might have been killed long ago.
Because of his unobstructed speech, Prince Philip has offended many people in his life.
Good handsome guy, but unfortunately he opened his mouth.
He not only gave the queen a nickname in public, but also ridiculed foreign envoys and commented on the affairs of other countries.
As soon as the prince opened his mouth, diplomacy was carried out in vain for ten years.
Jokes regardless of the occasion, the bad taste is really humorous, these are all counted second, so that the queen and the government wipe his ass for him.
Prince Philip is most criticized for violating the taboo of marriage: infidelity.
If you want to live a good life, you have to put a little green on your head.
But with Prince Philip's degree of affection, it is enough to make the queen "green" into a green grassland.
What has to be mentioned here is the "Thursday Club".
This organization, under the guise of a "fan support association", is a "small harem" under the skin of Prince Philip.
The more than 30 members inside are actually his secret lovers.
Therefore, the British people also called it the "Duke Philip Club".
Regarding the authenticity of the Philip Club, there are many opinions, and there is a suspicion of catching wind and shadows.
However, according to incomplete statistics, Prince Philip has been "stealing" the number of times he has been caught by the media alone as high as 12 times, and the female parties are still different.
The most well-known are Kirkwood and Penny.
"Pink Girl" Kirkwood was once the highest paid actress in London.
She attracted the attention of the audience with her bold performances, and a pair of long legs was hailed as the "eighth wonder of the world".
After four marriages, the top actress and Prince Philip got mixed up.
At that time, Elizabeth was still a princess and was pregnant with Crown Prince Charles in her belly.
Prince Philip belonged to a proper pregnancy and did not have to be washed at all.
The couple often had dinner together and even secretly dated in the dressing room on stage.
Of course, all this was recorded in the camera by the paparazzi.
After this disgraceful relationship was exposed, there was an uproar in Britain.
Not only is Philip deeply involved in the scandal, the woman has also been attacked by gossip, and has also interrupted her acting career.
In order to maintain the dignity of the royal family, Elizabeth had to stand up and try to deny it on behalf of her husband.
It's hard to imagine how painful the queen must have been at that time.
On one side is the face of the family, and on the other hand is the betrayal of the pillow people.
As a princess, she had to prioritize the former and turn a blind eye to her husband's behavior.
After the storm passed, Philip did not seem to have any intention of taking it seriously, but became more and more blatant. The scandal about him is also a wave of uneven waves.
When he is pushed to the forefront again and again, it is always Queen Elizabeth who cleans up the mess for him.
It is also a pity to say that the monarch of a country can kill and decide on major national affairs, but he is helpless in the face of her husband's change of heart.
Entangled with each other for decades, when she entered middle age, the queen thought that her husband would somewhat restrain.
Just then, a woman named Penny entered the marriage.
Penny the Rich Second Generation was initially Charles's blind date.
But in the process of dating, the young lady discovered that the crown prince was not her dish and turned around and trapped his father, Prince Philip.
Despite the 33-year-old age gap, Penny became Philip's new favorite and engaged in the business of "knowing three when three".
They meet twice a week to eat and play together.
For 27 years, the two have been in an ambiguous relationship.
Even after Penny married Lord Romsay, she remained the "Prince's Mistress".
It was clear that this unseemly relationship had the Queen's acquiescence.
Otherwise, Penny would not have danced with the prince in public in public in front of the queen.
In the face of her husband's betrayal, presumably the queen will also deeply regret her "love brain" and "face control" when she was young.
But for her as a monarch, making decisions cannot only consider the love of her children, but also take into account the overall situation.
For example, the face of the royal family, such as the dignity of the country.
It is really in response to the old saying, marriage is like a shoe, whether it fits or not is only known to yourself.
Those immortal love is often inseparable from a "forbearance" word.
Just like Jia Mu in "Dream of the Red Chamber" said: "What a big deal, the size is like this"
The so-called marriage of more than 70 years is nothing more than weighing the pros and cons and practicing patience with each other.
