At 99-years old, Philip has invested his life into the monarchy; he is the longest-serving consort in British history and the oldest serving partner of a reigning monarch. To turn a blind eye to the ruckus both younger men have rained down on the family would be impossible for someone of his stature and moral fiber.
Philip Must Be Saddened To See His Son’s Demise Due To Arrogance, Hubris, And Self-Entitlement
In the last decade of the last century, The Firm was embroiled in the scandal including Andrew’s impending divorce from Sarah Ferguson, and Princess Diana’s separation from Prince Charles. When asked what he made of all the dirty laundry he reportedly said, “Everything I have worked for 40 years has been in vain.”
Later Philip reportedly lost his temper with Andrew over his association with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, to the point that Fergie had to intervene.
Queen Elizabeth reportedly tried to keep Philip from getting involved, but how could she when his own son brought shame to the family?
Prince Harry Shattered His Bond With Philip By Launching Megxit?
Prince Philip and Prince Harry share sporting interests and as such got along well. Additionally, Harry’s military career impressed his grandfather who was reportedly delighted when Harry took his place as Captain-General of the Royal Marines in 2017.
But royal watchers say the goodwill was shattered when two weeks later Harry and wife Meghan Markle dropped their Megxit bomb, with the Queen told just 10 minutes before the announcement went live.
The pair wanted to flee the family yet retain all the perks that went with being royal–Philip had seen this before with Fergie and Diana, yet his astonishment cannot be imagined.
This time the Queen was said to have put her foot down and refused to allow Philip to become involved in the mess. When she called an emergency summit at Sandringham to hash out the details of Megxit, Charles, the Prince of Wales and grandsons Prince William and Prince Harry were present, as well as their senior advisors. But she allegedly asked one of her house guests, Countess Mountbatten, to drive Philip away from the house so he wouldn’t be exposed to what may have been a whole lot of nastiness.
