Shocking new claims about Prince Philip’s life have sparked debate over his final years.
Reports suggest the late duke spent his final days away from Queen Elizabeth while pursuing an intimate relationship with another woman.
The Duke of Edinburgh stepped back from his public duties in 2017 and retired to Wood Farm on the Sandringham estate. Meanwhile, Prince Philip was with Penelope Knatchbull, his longtime family friend, known as Penny.
Now, the royal insider has revealed radar online“They were very close.”
“He spent more time with her than his wife,” the source said.
Royal biographer Hugo Vickers shared that when Queen Elizabeth lived at Windsor Castle, she allowed her husband freedom in retirement.
Philip and Penny shared interests, including driving, and insiders have described their friendship as close.
It is worth mentioning that rumors have been rife about Philip’s alleged past relationships with other women. While Elizabeth ignored her husband’s cheating at the time, the source says that doesn’t mean she “wasn’t hurt or angry by his infidelity.”
“But he never showed it. He refused to let himself and the monarchy be disgraced,” the source said.
Prince Philip died in April 2021 at the age of 99, and Queen Elizabeth died the following year.
