They have been a partnership. They knew they could never divorce and have just got on with it like most people. The only difference is that with a home the size of Buckingham Palace they don’t have to see each other everyday if they don’t want to. What would his life have been if he hadn’t married her?

I agree MOnica they have supported and cared for each other over many years and in difficult circumstances at times.
That is love in my book.

there have been stories about him and a string of other women,but if Lizzie is happy to accept that its her choice.We all live our lives how we want and its no one else's business.Must admit though as a republican I'd rather not have them at all.Hopefully it will come to an end when she dies.Another three generations of monarchy surely not needed.Its a medieval concept in a modern world ,its had its time .

How many couples in such a long lasting marriage, or even one much shorter, say 40 plus years, would say that they were still 'madly in love' but many would say that they still loved their spouse.

I have no idea how the Queen and Prince Philip feel about their relationship but it is no business of mine, or anyone else's, for that matter, to ask such a personal and intrusive question of anyone they do not know.

Keep seeing all these ads for forthcoming TV programme. Do we really think they are still madly in love?
