Prince Philip’s ‘brutal’ conduct towards the Queen caused him to burst into tears during heated spit

Prince Philip, despite being the husband of Britain’s most influential lady, Queen Elizabeth, has always had issues of control over his legacy in the royal family.

According to royal experts, the Queen and Philip had an intense argument which left her broken and ‘reduced to tears’ because of his brutal treatment of her.

The feud ensued over the couple’s children bearing the surname of Philip Mountbatten, instead of Windsors – the historic surname of the royal family.

As expert Francesca Calazzo explains, “… According to a biography written by Bedell Smith, something happened between the 1950s and 1960s that put the royal couple to the test.

“Her Majesty – always very attentive to her husband – found herself in tears because of the ‘brutal’ behavior of her husband, who had made a very specific request,” she added.

Royal historian Hugo Vickers has suggested that his children’s decision not to have his last name triggered an ‘unhappy moment’ for the Duke of Edinburgh in his relationship with His Majesty.
