Will Prince Philip Show Up To His Birthday Party?

The Duke turns 100 on June 10, 2021 and sources are saying that he is leery of too much party fun in his name.

A source told The Telegraph that he wants, “nothing to do with it … Let’s just say we have a rather reluctant celebrant. You can’t do something if someone doesn’t want something doing.”

They added, “The one person you can guarantee will not want anything to do with it, is the Duke.”

The one thing Philip has going for his wishes to come true is the fact that coronavirus restrictions might ensure a scaled back celebration. In that case, the Royal Family could celebrate privately.

Royal commentator Katie Nicholl said the Queen and Prince Philip have, “rediscovered the happiness of their early years together,” as they isolate during the Covid-19 period.

She told 9Honey, “I remember speaking to a very well-placed source at the time who said while the Queen was, like the rest of the country, was very down about the pandemic and not being able to work [as usual] and being in lockdown, the real upside for her was the time that she got to spend with Philip.”

“While some couples may have found that intensity of being together stretching or testing, they clearly got on very well… they really enjoyed that time together.”
