“I think Philip took a while to adjust to his wife being queen. without a doubt.

“She got that it was difficult for him.” It was a tough old gig. “She was empathetic.”

She added: “They had a practical marriage, and they loved each other, and they also had a mission: monarchy.” All good marriages need a common purpose.

She kept saying, “There is no doubt in my mind that whatever the bumps in the road of their relationship, he bought into the bigger gig, which was their marriage being part of the work machinery of the monarchy.”
