Earlier this year, the first anniversary of Prince Philip's death was held as scheduled, and on the day of the event, in addition to the presence of Prince Philip's family, there was also a 69-year-old woman.
She is dressed in a British gray coat, specially came to the event before, this lady is Penny, she has exquisite facial features, elegant figure, the charm is still there, it can be seen that Penny must have been a stunning beauty decades ago.
She was invited by the Queen to attend this event, could it be that Penny was Prince Philip's best friend during his lifetime? No! In fact, she was Prince Philip's lover for 46 years.
It's no wonder that even Diana said before her death that "there is no love in the British royal family", Prince Philip and Penny have been having an extramarital affair for 46 years, and the queen can not only tolerate each other's behavior, but now she can invite each other to her husband's activities, which is simply a tacit approval of their extramarital affairs.
It turned out that there was really a difficult scripture in the family, although Elizabeth was the queen; And even when Prince Philip knelt on her wedding day and promised to be loyal to her for the rest of his life in the eyes of the world.
But Prince Philip still cheated on him, according to statistics, Prince Philip had as many as 30 lovers in his life, and Penny and Prince Philip's relationship lasted nearly half a century.
Since the early 70s of the last century, the two have known and fallen in love, until 20 years later, Penny's youngest daughter died in infancy, and her heart broke down, and Prince Philip walked into each other's lives without scruples and comforted her to accompany her.
At this time, the queen was entrusted with a mission from the whole country, she was dedicated to serving her people, and she turned a blind eye to Philip and Penny meeting at least twice a week.
If the queen is immersed in her husband's cheating all day, the whole country will enter a turbulent situation; If the husband's behavior is allowed to be completely ignored, it seems that it will also lose face.
But the queen knew better that what was needed between husband and wife, or between princes, was nothing more than decency, as long as Philip always surrendered to himself, even if he did nothing all day.
It is not so much that the queen has always maintained that decency, but that she knows her husband, and she knows that his sacrifice in this royal marriage is not less.
Prince Philip first renounced his right to the throne of his country, transferred to British citizenship, lost his original surname, and even his children's surnames could not follow his own.
To say that as a man, he may not be as good as an ordinary British man in terms of dignity, and it is no wonder that Prince Philip constantly looks for a presence in other lovers after marriage, after all, the queen is a woman he wants to love but cannot love.
And it is precisely because the queen understands the bitterness of her husband as a prince, the queen gave in, she is not only for the prince's concession, but for the sake of the people, she does not want her private life to cause trouble to the people, let alone become everyone's talk after tea and dinner.
The queen knew from the age of 5 that she would dedicate her life to her people, and how could her husband's cheating behavior easily break her?
If Prince Philip's love history does not cause trouble to the queen in life and government affairs, it is also a good thing to play with Penny.
With the queen's generous character and overall attitude, she herself does not account too much, but what people did not expect is that Prince Philip, in addition to having Penny's confidant who accompanies him left and right, even his own cousin Princess Alexandra does not let go.
And the two have maintained a lover relationship for more than 20 years, and it is the appearance of this princess that really makes the queen make concessions.
After the queen's coronation, Prince Philip not only felt the gap in identity between the two, but also the minimum of manly dignity became quite fragile after that kneeling.
Prince Philip really needs a woman of his own status to speak to his heart, he needs a gentle girl to accompany him, and he too much wants a more beautiful and dignified woman than the queen to vent his inner needs.
And this woman is the queen's cousin Alexandra, the two often intersect in royal official business, and at first will keep a certain distance because of the queen's existence.
But over time, as the number of times the two met, their relationship became closer and closer, and even the flirting between the two became an open secret in Windsor Castle.
In terms of identity, Alexandra can be regarded as Prince Philip's niece, originally thought that it was just the practice of elders close to juniors, but did not expect to accelerate the germination of love between the two.
The young, beautiful and lively Alexandra and the handsome and steady uncle are both moved by each other, as the hostess in Windsor Castle, the queen cannot fail to see the problems of the two, and the queen once again wants to marry this sister for the sake of decency.
Under the pressure of the royal family, Princess Alexandra, who had paid her heart, had to choose to marry herself off as soon as possible, and under the family's arrangement, she hurriedly married the count's son, and had a son and a daughter after marriage.
Originally, the two would have lived so plainly, but many years later, the husband found out that his wife had an unspeakable relationship with Prince Philip for 20 years!
The count instantly felt that he had been deceived, and even suspected that the two children were not his own, and in the end, the two broke up and divorced.
Unexpectedly, the grievances of the previous generation, a dispute let Princess Alexandra's daughter Marina know about her mother and Prince Philip.
What people didn't expect was that the young and radical daughter used such a thing to blackmail her mother, just to let her mother complete her marriage to a commoner.
Princess Alexandra, who lived in a chicken feather, had to cry to the queen, she no longer knew what to do, and the queen had to agree to Marina's request in order to protect the royal family's face.
Although it was a marriage, in order to make Marina marry beautifully, the queen specially granted Marina the title of husband, which made the relationship between Princess Alexandra and Prince Philip for more than 20 years not being played up again for the time being.
Who would have thought that they originally wanted to suppress the scandal in such a decent way, but the more publicity, the more they were taken out by people with intentions to make a fuss, and the things that happened many years ago were pulled out by people.
But it has to be said that the queen has a strong heart, even if someone brings up the old matter again, and even records the relationship between Princess Alexandra and Prince Philip in detail in related books, the queen still chooses the right time to attend the event with her cousin.
At the same time, the reporter specially asked the reporter to film the harmonious scene of the two and give those who have a heart a loud slap in the face. Often decency and face are not given by others, but earned by one's own wisdom and strong heart.
Although the Queen and Prince Philip have passed away one after another, when people mention the two, they will think more of the Queen's farewell letter to Prince Philip: "In the memory of love, Lilibet".
