“D
eep sorrow”, “Farewell, my beloved”…
For whom this unanimity of the British press?
A pop star?
A player of the XV de la Rose?
These titles salute Prince Philip, almost a hundred years old;
a man known for his presence and presence alongside Queen Elizabeth II - protocol commands three steps behind.

What explanation can be found for this emotion?
Longevity: Philip Mountbatten had been a sympathetic figure of the
“royal family”
for over seventy years
.
His life was a novel.
What Greek god (he was born in Corfu) imagined such a destiny for this man: wandering in Europe, engagement in the Royal Navy, exemplary behavior during the Second World War?
And finally
"Queen consort",
husband of the queen, with whom he formed a couple unwaveringly united in the accomplishment of a duty: to represent the United Kingdom.
