Prince Philip

Elizabeth's royal husband

Prince Philip was the husband of Queen Elizabeth II and Duke of Edinburgh, serving as royal consort to the British monarch from 1952 until his death in 2021—the longest-serving consort in British history.

Born a Greek and Danish prince, he renounced his foreign titles to marry Elizabeth in 1947.

He was known for his military service, charitable work, and occasionally controversial offhand remarks: Prince Philip put his foot in it again.
