Despite hard image, Prince Philip is queen's loyal consort

LONDON (AFP) - As Queen Elizabeth II turned 80 in Windsor Castle, Prince Philip was, as always, at her side as lifelong consort and confidant.

His reliable presence seems to belie his tabloid newspaper image as a callous man who has been a bully to family members and prone to uttering offensive or even racist remarks during the couple's travels abroad.

Prince Philip to visit Ireland

DUBLIN (AFP) - Prince Philip is to visit Ireland this week, the government said, renewing speculation about a historic first-ever visit by Britain's Queen Elizabeth II.
The office of Irish President Mary McAleese said the queen's consort would be a guest of honour Wednesday at a ceremony in Dublin to mark the 21st anniversary of the Gaisce (presidential challenge for 15 to 25 year olds) awards and the 50th anniversary of his Duke of Edinburgh awards.

Prince Philip gets warm welcome from Irish president

DUBLIN (AFP) - President Mary McAleese welcomed Britain's Prince Philip to Ireland for a trip that has renewed speculation about a first-ever visit there by his wife Queen Elizabeth.
The prince joined a youth ceremony for the 21st anniversary of Ireland's presidential youth awards programme and the 50th anniversary of his own Duke of Edinburgh scheme.

Article from Hello

The monarch is well-aware that she's not the only hard-working soul who has given decades of service to the British public, and it was with this in mind that she hosted a special event to celebrate the UK's older heroes on Wednesday afternoon.

She is in "Pretty in Pink' She look great..thank you for photos....:)
 
I wonder why that garden was planted in an American garden in Oxford. Princess Margaret didn't have any particular ties with either the US or Oxford. It is a nice gesture, though.
 
I really think that the Queen looks great in pink.
