Prince Philip never wore ‘heart on sleeve’ for Queen Elizabeth II

Queen Elizabeth II and her husband, Prince Philip were not overly affectionate towards each other.

Her majesty who shares four children with the X Duke of Edinburgh did not believe in public display of affection with her husband.

In book, The Queen: 70 Chaptersin the Life of Queen Elizabeth II, royal author Ian Lloyd shared: "When their relationship finally blossomed during the summer of 1946, the couple gave few clues away, even to those close to them."

Lloyd continued: “Peter Ashmore, [Elizabeth's father] The King's equerry, recalled Philip's three-week stay at Balmoral, when the couple came to what Philip called 'an understanding.'"

He revealed: "They certainly did not drool over each other...They scarcely held hands."

Lloyd shared: "It was hardly a surprise, since Philip had never been shown much affection from his parents."

The royal author explained: “[Royal courtier] Mike Parker recalled trying to encourage Philip to show some kind of public affection to his wife. 'He doesn't wear his heart on his sleeve,' Parker commented in a 1992 interview."
