Since Thursday, June 2, 2022, Elizabeth II is honored throughout the country on the occasion of its platinum jubilee, which is currently celebrating its 70 years of reign. Four days of festivities in which she could hardly participate. After her surprise appearance on the balcony on the first day alongside her grandchildren, the Queen, due to discomfort, had to follow the rest of her home. But it can worthily count on its own, in particular princess charlotteto continue to make a splash.
At home, in front of her screen, as Elizabeth II must feel the lack of her husband Prince Philip. However, between the 96-year-old monarch and the late Duke of Edinburgh, who died on April 9, 2021, everything has not always been easy. There are a large number of mistresses His Majesty must have resented. Indeed, the father of prince Charles would have been known to multiply the infidelities. In 1997, as they celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary, the sovereign confided: “There’s been storms, but that’s my rock.” Storms, there was no shortage of them. Among them, the supposed infidelity of Prince Philip, who are credited with around thirty mistresses.
One of them counted more than the others
As well established in a few episodes of The Crown, Prince Philip, a handsome man, caused a sensation among women. Funny and cultured, the Duke of Edinburgh captured attention as soon as he entered a room. Among the many supposed mistresses, we find the names of actresses like Zsa Zsa Gabor, Merle Oberon and Shirley Maclaine, Hélène Cordet. But also a cabaret star of Greek origin, the novelist Daphne du Maurier and even one of the Duke’s cousins, the Duchess of Abercorn. Women to whom Elizabeth II was certainly resentful.
And there is obviously the one who counted the most in the life of the monarch: Penny Romsey known as Penny, Lady Brabourne, thirty years her junior. A relationship that dates back to 1994 and is based on the sharing of many passions. Indeed, Prince Philip and Penny Romsey were very fond of sled racing. They were said to be inseparable and at the palace, it was not uncommon to evoke the “Penny Romsey situation”. Despite all these cases, the royal couple resisted. “My first, second and last job is to never let the queen down“, had let know the duke of Edinburgh.
