On February 9, 2002, the Queen's only sister Princess Margaret passed away.
The two sisters grew up together, and their relationship is naturally very good.
Compared to the Queen's calmness, Princess Margaret has always been very flamboyant. In this regard, the queen not only does not restrain herself, but also likes that her sister can live as she pleases.
The queen almost became an enemy of the entire royal family because of her sister's marriage.
And what about Princess Margaret? She has always admired this sister who supported her. Sometimes when it is inconvenient for the Queen to appear, Princess Margaret speaks for her sister.
So when her sister died, the Queen was devastated.
But at such a critical moment, as her husband, Prince Philip was unable to accompany the Queen. Even when he showed up the next day, he was almost late.
So, what did Prince Philip do at that time?
According to the British media, Prince Philip accompanied his lover Penny to watch the horse racing!
Afterwards, even the dignified queen was a little embarrassed. She lost her temper to her husband: You should stay away from her from now on!
Twenty years passed in the blink of an eye. The Queen, who was once very concerned about Penny, now regarded her as a close friend.
allowed her to attend Prince Philip's funeral and anniversary, and even privately invited her to watch Marseille!
Is the Queen too lonely, or is Penny too clever?
The queen's marriage originated from love. At least, that's what the queen thinks.
When he was young, Philip was so handsome that he could go on to become a star.
When she first saw her cousin, who was 5 years older than herself, and was still a princess, Elizabeth was unforgettable.
In order to marry her sweetheart, Elizabeth did not hesitate to quarrel with George VI.
After all, in the old king's heart, Philip was so poor that he couldn't do anything at all. Compared with those well-established aristocratic young people in England, Philip had no advantage at all.
But under such circumstances, Elizabeth still resisted the pressure and married the other party.
On June 23, 1953, Elizabeth was crowned and officially became queen.
At the grand coronation ceremony, as her husband, Prince Philip was the first to kneel.
However, after marriage, their conflicts have just begun.
Prince Philip abandoned his military job and became the man behind the Queen; at the same time, his children cannot inherit his surname.
All the major and minor conflicts were combined, and Prince Philip's dissatisfaction with the royal family reached its peak.
can be regarded as a door-to-door son-in-law, how can he have the capital to resist?
Since this time, the news about Prince Philip’s cheating has not stopped.
When he was the most willful, he even ignored the secular world and got together with the queen's most hated cousin Princess Alexandra .
Regarding this past event, a biographer named Davis published a book called "Elizabeth II: A Woman Not Easily Amused" in 1994.
In the book, the affairs of Prince Philip and Princess Alexandra are recorded in detail.
It is worth mentioning that it was the Queen herself who finally resolved this scandal!
Dealing with the scandal between her husband and her lover, how embarrassing would the Queen be with such humiliation?
But facts have proved that Prince Philip’s “forward” pace has never stopped.
In 1975, Prince Philip met Penny.
She is beautiful and a talented student. When Penny and Prince Philip are together, they always have endless topics to talk about.
When the two of them were in a harmonious relationship, they would meet every week.
The Queen is not unaware of this, but for the sake of the royal family, she has no choice but to endure.
In 1979, Penny married Lord Mountbatten III.
It can also be seen from this name that this person has a close relationship with the royal family. Indeed, Lord Mountbatten III Norton is the grandson of Prince Philip's uncle.
Prince Philip’s uncle, Duke Mountbatten, had only two daughters in his life. Therefore, his title was passed on to the son of the eldest daughter.
With this relationship, it will be more convenient for Penny to meet Prince Philip.
Penny can stand behind Prince Philip and the Queen at many events.
Moreover, Penny did not live a happy life after marriage.
Her eldest daughter unfortunately died young, but Norton only cared about having a good time with his lover outside.
In order to enlighten Penny, Prince Philip will take her on outings and teach her to drive a carriage.
Later, when Penny gave birth to a son, she simply took her son to live in the huge manor.
After so many setbacks, Penny never complained in front of Prince Philip. On the contrary, she has always been cheerful and smiled so much that Prince Philip felt distressed.
At that time, even other nobles said this about Penny: She was cheerful, knowledgeable, knowledgeable, and not reckless.
It is probably because of this that the lovers around Prince Philip came and went, and only Penny persisted until the end.
However, due to the death of Princess Margaret in the middle, Prince Philip also alienated Penny.
After the limelight passed, the two reconciled as before.
Later on, the Queen even acquiesced to Penny staying with her husband.
After all, Penny means more than just a lover to Prince Philip.
In 2019, Prince Philip, who is 97 years old, still likes to drive. In this regard, his relatives advised him to put safety first.
But how can the stubborn Prince Philip listen?
In the end, it was Penny who came forward to persuade Prince Philip to give up.
Prince Philip’s grandson Harry has been rebellious since he was a child.
In May 2018, Harry married Meghan . Since then, Harry and Meghan have often been exposed to the news that they are at odds with the royal family.
At the beginning of 2020, Harry suddenly announced that he would resign as a senior member of the royal family. At the family meeting that day, Prince Philip and the Queen were very angry.
In the end, Prince Philip, who couldn't bear it anymore, started swearing directly.
In order not to make the young prince too excited, someone called Penny.
So Penny drove over and took away the furious Prince Philip.
Having such a sensible and considerate lover comforting her husband, the queen probably felt more at ease than jealous.
In April 2021, Prince Philip passed away at the age of 99.
Due to love, the royal family only prepared a small funeral. At that time, no more than 30 royal members were present.
But within this scope, the Queen still invited Penny; on this year's anniversary, Penny also appeared.
Is the queen generous? I'm more afraid of being alone!
The 96-year-old Queen sent away her father, mother, sister, husband and many other relatives.
Penny is probably the only one who can accompany her to recall the past.
Moreover, Penny has a philandering husband, and her son is so rebellious that he takes contraband. Finally, the son married a second-married woman with children.
Similar experiences made Penny understand the queen's mood better than anyone else; moreover, the queen actually appreciates this kind of tolerant and strong woman more!
When she is with the Queen, she can always comfort the Queen very well. Penny regards the Queen as a monarch and as an ordinary woman who needs to talk.
At last year's Windsor Marseille, Penny stood behind the Queen.
At the Windsor Marseille last month, Penny was arranged to sit directly next to the Queen! On the other side of the Queen, sat her youngest son, Prince Edward.
This shows that the relationship between the Queen and Penny is better than outsiders imagine.
When Marseille saw the critical moment, Penny did not forget to put a blanket on the queen. I have to say that in these aspects, women are more considerate than men.
is knowledgeable and considerate, and can also reminisce about the past with the Queen. Such friends are already very precious to a young queen.
How could I not say that I am invincible from high places!
Even though she is a queen, she still needs one or two close friends.
Besides, at such an age, love is no longer important. Putting aside those disturbing past events, friends who can sit together and talk about everything are worthy of the Queen's cherishment!
So, even though Penny has been with Prince Philip for more than 40 years, she can still sit next to the Queen.
After all, there is no absolute line between liking and hating.
