Prince Philip's 90th Birthday: June 10, 2011
Anyone know the plans for celebrating this yet? Any foreign royals attending?

It's supposed to be a quiet family affair, so we'll probably see the Greek Royals.

I suspect they may have a service of thanksgiving, either at St George's or the Abbey. They will probably have some sort of a gun salute, and then a private celebration. The British RF have never been keen to have large gatherings of foreign royals in a very public setting and they are unlikely to change that.

But for Charles's 60th there was lots of foreign Royals. And I think I read something about a Service of Thanksgiving.

I am on HM's side: a 90th birthday is special, and should be celebrated as such.

It should be spent how Prince Phillip wants to spend it.

Prince Philip's 90th birthday
Duke of Edinburgh relents over bash for his 90th | Mail Online
A thanksgiving service at St George's and then a celebratory luncheon.
He turned down St Paul's - typical of the man.
It is on June 12th - the weekend after Trooping the Colour and the Sunday immediately before the start of Ascot week.

Prince Philip set for 90th birthday interviews
Prince Philip will give not one, but two interviews to the BBC and ITV to celebrate his 90th birthday in June. The TV appearances will be in addition to the planned thanksgiving service at Windsor. ‘The Duke didn’t want a big fuss made, but the Queen was determined to mark this milestone,’ says a courtier. ‘He will speak to the BBC and ITV about his life and work.’
