Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, husband of Queen Elizabeth II, will no longer carry out public engagements from the autumn of this year. The prince will stop accepting invitations for visits and engagements.
Currently, Prince Philip is considered the main crowned long-liver among representatives of royal families in the world. He is 96 next month.

Prince Philip became an assistant, counselor, friend and lover of Elizabeth II. Currently, he is father of four children, grandfather of eight grandchildren and great-grandfather of five great-grandchildren. Prince Philip still has a reputation of ingenious and resourceful person.
