Valin Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 MSN News Apr. 9 2021 The death at Windsor Castle was announced by the royal family. He had been hospitalized in London after feeling unwell since Feb. 17. He and the queen had received the coronavirus vaccine in January, and his illness was reportedly not related to covid-19. When Prince Philip hit the world stage after World War II as then-Princess Elizabeth’s dashing suitor, he was seen as a tall, blond, athletic Viking who would breathe life into the fusty institution of the British monarchy. They were married in 1947, and with Elizabeth’s coronation in 1953, the couple came to embody a way forward for a shrinking world power experiencing postwar privation and the dismantling of its global empire. The attractive young queen and her dashing husband were regarded as glittering celebrities in the postwar age. (Snip) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
