Queen Elizabeth II duty comes before pleasure and as head of the Anglican church of course divorcing her was never an option for her.
She never contemplated the possibility of generating a major sc@nd@l with a separation; instead, she preferred to endure with great stoicism the infidelities of her husband rather than generate a major crisis in the United Kingdom and her church.
The Queen of England has reportedly ignored the love affairs of the father of her five children.
Daphne du Maurier, the writer
She was married to Lieutenant Frederik Arthur Motague Browning, who worked in the Duke of Edinburgh's office. It was there where the crush arose, being both married.
She was a well-known writer whose works inspired films such as Jamaica Inn and Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds.
Her open character and sharp intelligence were two of the attractions that attracted the queen's husband. Daphne was 14 years older than Felipe, which was even more attractive to him because she always liked to surround herself with older women.
Pat Kirkwood, actress
Her affair with her husband Elizabeth II reached the press at the time, which angered King George VI, her father-in-law.
Pat was a very recurring actress in cabarets where she played somewhat daring roles. It was during one of her performances at the London Hippodrome when a friend of Felipe's introduced them in her dressing room.
According to the social chronicle of that time, Pat and Felipe had dinner and breakfast together. Which was quite a scandal, however they always denied it.
Hèléne Cordet, the businesswoman
Of French origin, Hèléne also came from a noble family in France. Her relationship with this French woman was always very different from that of her other lovers.
Felipe went out of his way for her, always supported her career as an actress and even helped her open a cabaret. But the most suspicious thing about this relationship is that the coexistence was so close that on their wedding day it was Felipe who took her to the altar and also acted as godfather to the actress' two sons, Louis and Max, who studied at the same school. than the baronial sons of the Duke of Edinburgh, Charles Andrew and Edward.
The English press has commented on these coincidences a lot and there are even those who claim that Louis and Max are children out of wedlock of the Queen's husband.
Alexandra of Kent, the cousin-in-law
Philip of Edinburgh always went to great lengths regarding his infidelities, caring absolutely about nothing more than his desire to have fun.
Princess Alexandra of Kent is none other than Elizabeth II's cousin, 11 years younger than the Queen's sovereign and lady-in-waiting at her wedding to the Duke of Edinburgh.
Patricia Kluge, the dancer of dubious origin
She mastered the art of belly dancing and worked in some of Liverpool's best-known nightclubs. She also tried her luck in porn films where she made it clear that she had a certain talent that attracted important businessmen like her husband, American billionaire John Kluge.
Her privileged position as Lady of Kluge placed her in the leading social circles throughout Europe.
It was known that John, to please his wife, did everything unimaginable, such as paying £50,000 so that Patricia could use the Sandringham stables, the Queen's winter residence.
It was there where she one day coincided with Felipe with whom she had a great love affair hidden from her husband. John, without knowing anything of the above, invited Felipe to his residence in Scotland and his ranch in Virginia. When he found out, he immediately filed for divorce, which was finalized in 1990.
Lady Penny Brabourne, his great love
The Daily Mail assured that Philip of Edinburgh's good appearance and iron health is due to Lady Penny.
Felipe and Lady Jenny met at a polo match where the Duke of Edinburgh, then 55, and she, 22, participated.
Shortly afterwards Lady Penny married Lord Brabournem, godson of Philip's husband, but as Lord was also a great fan of skirts, the marriage did not prosper.
It was when the relationship between Felipe and Lady Penny was strengthening to the point of becoming lovers.
The prisoner of the English country has been surprised that Elizabeth II not only knows of the existence of her husband's lover but that she has no problem living with her.
