The late prince of the British royal family, Philip , had a famous name. Someone gave him a list of lovers: 30 people. The team of is absolutely spectacular in today's era.
However, some people believe that Prince Philip is far more outrageous than the spectacular number of lovers: had an affair with the Queen's cousin, Princess Alexandra, and it lasted for 20 years.
Is this true or is it just a rumor? In fact, we can start with the relationship between Philip and Alexandra, because they will still be relatives even if there is no queen.
We all know that Prince Philip is the Greek prince, his father is the fourth son of the Greek King George I , and he is the grandson of George I.
And what about Alexandra? She is a cousin of Queen Elizabeth II of England, because her father, the Duke of Kent and George VI are brothers.
However, Alexandra’s mother has a background and is a real blue-blood princess.
Her mother's name is Marina, who comes from the Greek royal family and is the granddaughter of George I (her father is Prince Philip's uncle).
This means that Marina is Philip's cousin . In terms of age, Marina is 15 years older than Prince Philip, and Prince Philip is 15 years older than Alexandra.
Isn’t it a bit confusing to say this? But based on the seniority of us ordinary people, Alexander should call Prince Philip uncle.
If we look at the traditional generational relationship in rural areas, the relationship between them has not yet appeared. 五Server , they are absolute close relatives.
However, Europe has always been a family structure. Ever since Queen Victoria married her nine children to the entire European royal family, such close relative marriages have become natural.
In fact, even if they are the Queen and Prince Philip, if you are willing to dig into it, they can also be called cousins: The cousin is married to the cousin, but they are not biological, which is a bit roundabout.
At this time we have to look at the rumors about Prince Philip and Alexandra: Can an uncle have an affair with a niece? The relationship between is not so easy to say compared to cousins.
But this is not impossible, because Alexandra is the queen's cousin, and Philip married the queen.
In this way, in the royal family, Prince Philip, the adopted son-in-law who has given up his identity, can only call Alexandra a cousin.
Look, with all this going around, does their relationship feel more normal? Of course, if they really have an affair, they can only use this relationship to balance their inner feelings.
In 1989, Alexandra's daughter Marina (named by foreigners as arbitrary, the niece has the same name as her grandmother) became pregnant out of wedlock and tried to give birth to a child.
But neither she nor her boyfriend had money to raise a child, so found her mother, Alexandra, and asked for sponsorship.
This was severely rejected by Alexandra, because this was absolutely not allowed for members of the royal family, and she asked her daughter to abort the child in her belly.
23-year-old Marina was rebellious and selfish, which she couldn't accept at all. As a last resort, she took a chance and threatened her mother to give in by announcing her mother's affair with Prince Philip.
Alexandra did not feel embarrassed about this for too long. Because this matter was too involved, the Queen was already on pins and needles and directly intervened personally.
In the end, Marina achieved her goal and married her civilian boyfriend, and the royal family also resumed financial support for her.
This matter is a bit unbelievable to say, but it can be said that there is no smoke without fire. In addition to Marina knowing this matter well, there is also a writer named Nicholas Davis who also published "Elizabeth II" in 1994. "A Woman Not Easily Amused" , in which the incident was revealed.
Nicholas said in the book that the Queen and Prince Philip had a bad relationship because of the issue of their child's surname, and the two were often unable to attend events together.
As a member of the royal family, Alexandra was pushed to the front desk and often attended various events with Prince Philip.
In frequent contacts, young Alexandra (she was not married at the time) impressed Prince Philip , and the two began to have a different relationship.
Even when faced with situations where the two of them get along like this, the Queen always leaves wisely and creates opportunities for them. When the Queen truly realized the seriousness of the problem, many members of the royal family were brought in to persuade Prince Philip.
The queen silently accepted all this, a cousin and a husband, they betrayed her together.
But she couldn't be as direct and willful as Marina, so she had to balance her inner feelings with tolerance and royal appearance.
However, the relationship between Prince Philip and Alexandra seemed impossible to break. The Queen began to worry that her cousin would become pregnant, and all she could do was to urge her to get married.
In 1963, Alexandra married Angus Ogilvie, the second son of Earl Ogilvie.
Obviously, this difference in status is a bit big, and because of this, Nicholas believes that this is Alexandra's grudge move.
Outsiders thought Alexandra was happily married, but in fact, her husband quietly divorced her in the 1980s after learning that his wife had had such a relationship with Prince Philip.
Alexandra has been living a single life with her son and daughter, and her relationship with Prince Philip has lasted almost 20 years.
Obviously, many people will not understand why, in an ethical relationship with such close status and seniority, Alexandra and Prince Philip would have such a thing happen?
But I’m afraid people who know Alexandra’s native family will understand that it is a portrayal of royal life and it is also an unfortunate experience in her own life.
The Duke of Kent and Princess Marina are a pair of golden boys and girls. Both of them are very good-looking . Some people even said that the British people almost knocked down the royal family wall in order to see Princess Marina's face. .
It is a pity that such a beautiful woman as married a slutty prince who is not taboo between men and women and loves to take drugs. Even if he marries a beautiful wife like Marina, he cannot give up the search for an exciting life.
Under such circumstances, Princess Marina used the same method to respond to her husband's unruliness. The most shocking thing is that the Duke of Kent and his wife once shared the same lover.
It can be seen what kind of impact such a decadent and dissolute life will have on his children.
After the Duke of Kent passed away, Princess Alexandra's life in the royal family was not satisfactory. She was short of money, not valued by others, her mother also favored sons over daughters, and she even had no status in front of her cousin the Queen.
You can imagine how she felt when Prince Philip extended his love and attention to her. Therefore, it is entirely possible that she will be included in the ranks of Prince Philip's lovers, rather than just external rumors.
Today, Alexandra has already enjoyed her old life, and occasionally goes to the palace to accompany the queen and fulfill her obligations as a royal member. But Prince Philip has passed away, and the Queen has long since let go of her concern. Moreover, the relationship between Alexandra and her daughter has been repaired very well, and the stories about her and Prince Philip are no longer mentioned.
