▍原文

Prince Philip, the lifelong companion of Britain's Queen Elizabeth II, has died, Buckingham Palace announced. He was 99.

He married the then Princess Elizabeth in 1947 after a courtship that charmed a country still reeling from the ravages of World War II.

In his seven decades of service, Philip often accompanied the Queen on royal engagements, and conducted thousands of his own solo appearances.

He once referred to himself as "the world's most experienced plaque unveiler," while the Queen lauded him as her "constant strength and guide."
