This is truly a milestone! We should all be so lucky to live such a long and impressive life.
We love the Royal Family around here, and sometimes it's easy to forget that they're all just humans who age. Queen Elizabeth herself is 94, but keeping active and healthy, and her husband, Prince Philip, has just hit a huge milestone birthday himself — hopefully, he's keeping up with Her Majesty!
The official Instagram account for the Royal Family shared this previously unseen photograph of the happy couple, writing, "This new photograph of The Duke of Edinburgh and The Queen was taken last week in the quadrangle at Windsor Castle to mark His Royal Highness’s 99th birthday."
I think he looks just like Prince William in this shot, but you can definitely see where Charles, Harry, and all their young children get their looks from! The genes in this family are definitely strong — makes sense!
"Wishing a very happy 99th Birthday to The Duke of Edinburgh!" they wrote alongside a series of pictures of the family.
Obviously, fans of the family showed up in the comments to leave their birthday wishes to the Prince themselves.
"What a happy occasion!!! Happy 99th to The Duke! Can't wait to see what you'll do for 100!!!" another added.
It's definitely a happy occasion, and we hope Prince Philip has a wonderful birthday spent with his loved ones! Happy 99th!
