Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, was a man of extraordinary character and unwavering spirit. As the longest-serving royal consort in British history, he dedicated his life to supporting his beloved wife, Queen Elizabeth II, and to serving the people of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth.

Beyond his official duties, Prince Philip was also known for his sharp wit, his keen intellect, and his forthright manner. He was a master of the well-timed quip and the incisive observation. His words often provoked laughter, raised eyebrows, and sparked lively debate.
