Prince Philip Made These Huge Sacrifices For The Royal Family, Expert Says

Prince Philip reportedly made some huge sacrifices for the royal family.

While speaking with 9Honey, royal commentator Victoria Arbiter said that the Duke of Edinburgh’s sacrifices has been plentiful for the sake of his wife and four children.

“He gave up an impressive naval career and was forced to accept that his children would not bear his name. ‘I am the only man in the country not allowed to give his name to his children, I’m nothing but a bloody amoeba,’ he once professed,” she said.

Arbiter also said that Prince Philip didn’t have any independence to speak his mind since all of his surviving sisters were married to German noblemen. And because of post-war sensitivity, the Duke’s siblings were not invited to his and the Queen’s wedding.

Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth II have been married for seven decades. When they celebrated their golden wedding anniversary in 1977, the Queen gave her husband a touching message.

“He has, quite simply, been my strength and stay all these years, and I, and his whole family, and this and many other countries, owe him a debt greater than he would ever claim, or we shall ever know,” she said.

Meanwhile, Prince Philip recently celebrated his 98^th birthday and several members of the royal family paid tribute to him. On the official Twitter and Instagram accounts of Kensington Palace, a series of photos of Prince Philip with Prince William and Kate Middleton were uploaded.

On the Sussex Royal’s Instagram account, Prince Philip’s photos with Her Majesty and Prince Harry were also shared. Prince Philip retired from his royal duties two years ago. But every now and then, he is still seen in public during some family gatherings.

The Duke of Edinburgh made it a point to attend Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s royal wedding on May 19, 2018, and he was also there to witness Princess Eugenie walk down the aisle.
