He used to be the Prince of Greece and Denmark. He denounced his royal titles with in order to marry the woman he love. Today, he is the longest-serving, oldest-ever spouse of a reigning monarch. Accounts say that he is actually a nice monarch. In fact, in 1979, when he and his royal wife were guests of US President Jimmy Carter, this prince was approached by White House butler Lynwood Westray and another unnamed butler. Westray asked him Your majesty, would you like a cordial?, and the prince responded, Ill take one if youll let me serve you. Oh my God, this had never happened before, said Westray. There we were standing there. I was holding the glasses and my buddy was holding the liqueurs and we looked at each other, and I said If thats the only way youll have it, well go along with it. And the prince served us what he was having, and the three of us had a drink and a conversation. It was an honour to let him do it. This is Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. Husband of Queen Elizabeth and in line of succession to the thrones of the 16 Commonwealth realms. He was born today, June 10, in 1921. The royal is now 93 years old. In his youth, his majesty kind of exhibit some similarities to actor Ryan Gosling, dont you think? #TodayinHistory
