Prince Philip is getting remembered by Queen Elizabeth II on what would have been his 100th birthday.
The 95-year-old reigning monarch will take “a quiet moment of reflection” along with the rest of the British royal family to honour the Duke of Edinburgh through some of the exhibits chosen personally by her.
The exhibit will permit the public to join hands with the royals in remembering the legacy of the late Philip and to “collectively ¬celebrate the Duke of Edinburgh’s extraordinary life”.
Sources from the Palace said, per Mirror, that the royal family is hoping that “many people will be able to share in his incredible life and legacy”.
The Queen and Prince Philip were together for 73 years, and he devoted himself to supporting the monarch in her duties as head of state at home and abroad.
From 24 June, visitors to Prince Philip: A Celebration at Windsor will be able to learn about his close associations with the castle and the local community.
From 23 July, visitors to Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh will be able to explore Prince Philip’s early life and naval career, as well as his connections to Scotland and its capital.
Also on show will be mementoes from the day he married Princess Elizabeth in 1947, including the invitation, order of service and wedding breakfast menu.
