Congratulations are in order - not all of us are so lucky as to live to the ripe old age of 98! Prince Philip AKA the Duke of Edinburgh or Queen Elizabeth's husband celebrated his 98th trip around the sun on June 10, 2019.

Just in case you didn't watch The Crown, Prince Philip was born in Greece, but his family was exiled from the country when he was an infant. After being educated in France, Germany and the United Kingdom, he joined the British Royal Navy at age 18. From there, he began corresponding with the 13-year-old Princess Elizabeth, whom he had first met in 1934. During the Second World War he served with distinction in the Mediterranean and Pacific Fleets.

After the war, Philip was granted permission by George VI to marry Elizabeth. Before the official announcement of their engagement in July 1947, he abandoned his Greek and Danish royal titles and became a naturalised British subject, adopting the surname Mountbatten from his maternal grandparents. Newest member of the royal family, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, has a last name that's a nod to both his grandparents.

With most of the royal family on social media now, their various accounts were flooded with tributes and well wishes for the Queen's husband of 71 years on Monday.

Prince Philip's Heartbreaking Confession

The Duke of Edinburgh has spoken honestly about his increasing age following his 98th birthday yesterday. In an interview with Giles Brandreth for the The Daily Telegraph following the Queen Mother's centenary back in 2000, Philip made some revealing comments about aging.

Sadly, Philip said that he had “no desire whatsoever” to live to 100. Then jokingly he added: “I can’t imagine anything worse. “Bits of me are falling off already.”

Considering his age, I think Prince Philip is still doing very well. For goodness sake, he is only two years into his retirement, and he has been one of the most active members of the Royal Family over the last few years.
