How Prince Philip Questioned If He Made Right Decision Being With Queen Elizabeth

Prince Philip previously questioned the decisions that he made in his life.

In the 1960s, the Duke of Edinburgh reportedly suffered a mid-life crisis. During this time, he was left asking what has he been doing with his life. During his appearance on ITV’s “Lorraine,” royal correspondent Russell Myers shared details about the Duke’s midlife crisis. He also said that this important moment will be included in “The Crown” Season 3.

“In the new series, we see Prince Philip having a bit of a midlife crisis in the 1960s, 1969. Now the reason for this, he meets the crew of Apollo 11 at Buckingham Palace… And he actually thinks about ‘what am I doing with my life?’ We’re all quite used to him being the Queen’s Consort. He’s a very popular member of the royal family and he’s held that duty with distinction,” he said.

But decades ago, Prince Philip wondered if he did the right thing. In order to be with Her Majesty, the dad of four had to give up a very promising career in the Navy. The scene will reportedly be played out beautifully by “Outlander” star Tobias Menzies.

While speaking with Radio Times, Menzies also opened up about his iconic role in “The Crown” Season 3. The actor admitted that he wasn’t a fan of the royal family until after he portrayed Prince Philip.

“I wasn’t someone who read about them or involved myself with them, but I’ve been very intrigued by his life. He’s a pretty interesting bloke. He’s a complex person, with complex stories. I have a lot of regard for him,” he said.

Meanwhile, Prince Philip also made headlines this week after it was reported that he will be receiving the King’s tribute in London’s Trafalgar Square. The statue of the Duke of Edinburgh will reportedly be commissioned after his death.

A source said that the original plan for the Queen’s statue to be commissioned in the fourth plinth, but in recent years it was revealed that it could be Prince Philip’s statue.
