Happy family after 25 years of marriage is not a myth

“If you ask me what I think about a happy family life after 25 years of marriage, I can answer simply and convincingly - this is not a myth,” said the monarch on the anniversary of her marriage to Philip.

My husband refuses compliments
Elizabeth II did not miss the opportunity to laugh at Philip. She loved her husband's cocky sense of humor and tried to match him at the right moment. So, during an official appeal to the British, the queen mentioned the difficult character of the Duke of Edinburgh.
“During these years as your queen, I have received immense family support. Prince Philip, as far as I know, is well known to you for refusing to compliment himself. But still, I will say that he has always been my support and guide,”Elizabeth II described her husband tenderly and humorously.

I'm surprised at our marriage
In Britain, the platinum wedding is celebrated on the 70th anniversary of the celebration. The queen admitted that she had never heard of such a holiday when she got married. She reported this during a traditional Christmas speech.
“When we got married, I don't think there was such a thing as a platinum anniversary. Who knew we'd last that long? I myself am surprised at our marriage,”said the queen.

Philippe has a unique sense of humor
Prince Philip retired in 2017. He stopped making official tours and attending events. This decision was made due to the old age and state of health of the duke. Elizabeth II even managed to make this event cheerful so that her husband liked it.
“Prince Philip decided it was time to slow down. But I know that his unique sense of humor will remain our support,”said the queen about her husband.
