Prince Philip’s death at 99 years old marked the end of an incredible life.
The Duke of Edinburgh died on April 9, just weeks after coming home from a month-long hospital stay.
He was married to Queen Elizabeth for just over 73 years (viaSky News).
Philip’s life was certainly remarkable.
Living two years longer than Philip was his mother-in-law,Queen Elizabeth I.
Born on Christmas Day 1901, Princess Alice holds the title of longest living British royal in history.
Like many who marry into the royal family, Alice grew up in aristocracy.
Coincidentally, Alice’s first cousin was Marian Louisa, Lady Elmhirst.
She was the paternal grandmother of Sarah Ferguson.
Sarah was previously married to Prince Andrew, Alice’s great-nephew (viaReader’s Digest).
Alice’s very last public appearance was in celebration of her 100th birthday (perThe Guardian).
Alice beat Princess Leonilla of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Sayn of Prussia, who lived to 101 years and 268 days old.
