Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams, in a conversation with the Daily Star, highlighted that the late monarch's marriage experienced a 'brief' phase of happiness that eventually transformed into negative feelings.
Fitzwilliams acknowledged that the time Philip and Elizabeth spent in Malta, during his naval service, constituted one of the happiest but regrettably short-lived periods in their shared lives.
"The Queen consistently prioritized her duty, fulfilling her role with impeccable grace," he explained.
"However, this dedication meant that Philip could not pass on his name to his children, a situation he deeply resented. Furthermore, he had to relocate to Buckingham Palace against his desires and forge his own path, as access to state papers was restricted."
