Prince Philip's affairs

I've been watching The Crown again and they're pretty clear (without stating it outright) that he had multiple affairs during his marriage. They even hint he may have had an affair with his distant cousin's wife, Lady Penelope Knatchbull.

Has any of this come out yet in biographies? I've often heard rumors about all this but nothing was ever definitively or reliably said.

Kitty Kelley had Philip fucking women in every port, including Fergie’s mother. He also apparently had multiple illegitimate children.

Philip was definitely caught up in the Christine Keeler scandal too.

He never asked me to have an affair, that racist.

One of the craziest rumors I've heard is that he was Harry's father.

His distant cousin's wife, Lady Penelope doesn't strike me as Phillips's type. Too wooden in the sheets

The Crown is not a documentary. However, it was not suggested that Philip had an affair with Penny. In fact, it was quite clear it was a friendship based on intellectual companionship and shared interests. Philip had to look elsewhere for that because the Queen was intellectually dull. All this, per “The Crown.”

Penny was basically Phil’s life partner for the last 20 years of his life or more. Poor Liz had to put up with it. Imagine being one of the most powerful women in the world and you can’t control your husband’s sloppy dick. I would have had it cut off!

The chattering classes are going to chatter.

I followed this thread because it's about to get juicy. I remember this from the first couple of seasons of The Crown. I definitely wonder about the fidelity of Prince Philip.

Penny Snatchbull.

Wasn't the rumour that their marriage was greatly strained in the first few years of marriage as he had to give up his career and become her second fiddle? And that she was constantly busy and struggled to prove herself a good Queen and be a wife & mother. He went off sailing for months alone.

Again, rumour that problems eased as time passed and as they had 2 more kids and headed to middle age he became her biggest supporter for the rest of their marriage.

I'm guessing when they married they both thought they'd have many more with her father as King, and time to build a family with him pursuing his career. That all changed quickly

He fucked around on her constantly. And wasn’t discreet about it.

Well the Queen was never going to ask for a divorce. She had to look the other way. The survival of the monarchy was always the most important thing.

Looks like Lisa Marie

It's pretty impressive that he managed to fuck around for decades and there's no solid evidence. He chose the right women to dally with! They kept their traps shut.

Don't think there's any debate over the stability of his marriage to the queen. They were together for 5,000 years and seemed to genuinely love each other. Like most aristo marriages of their generation, wives mostly turned a blind eye to cheating.

I read that Desi Arnez was baffled that Lucy had an issue with his screwing around. "I love her," he said. "Why would she care if I fuck other women. I don't love them."

[quote] The crown is not a documentary.

It's not? I guess the actors playing the parts of the BRF must have been a major clue.

Oh please tell us more obvious information!

Husbands always underestimate how hurtful cheating is to their partners

The Crown is a TV show, not R E A L I T Y....!

I admire Philip for warning Harry: DON'T MARRY AN ACTRESS. He knew whereof he spoke....

[quote]his distant cousin's wife, Lady Penelope Knatchbull

She's the wife of his first cousin, once removed. That's not distant.

Popular media outlets may choose to call the present Lord Mountbatten (Norton Knatchbull) a "distant cousin" because they know that many readers struggle with the concept of "once removed".

The famous actress Prince Phillip was supposed to have shagged was Patricia (Pat) Kirkwood, she was better known as a singer later in her life.

I heard somewhere he also dabbled with the menfolk.

Tell me more!

I found the "Crown" story that R8 mentions to be interesting.

Young Elizabeth (Claire Foy) was portrayed as sharp and insightful about others, even if the men around her called her "Shirley Temple."

But she certainly seems to lack curiosity by the time season 5 rolls around.

How close this is to reality.....someone more knowledgeable about the BRF would have to tell me

by Anonymousreply 29June 7, 2023 2:30 PM

FFS, of course he fucked around. All men of that station do and as long as it's discreet the wives usually look the other way. Plus, they were married forever. She probably had a few discreet affairs over the years too.

Bertie didn’t fuck around on Cookie.
