for his part, prince philip was criticized by sections of the tabloid press for being cold towards histimes portrayed as, for example, being very critical of the princs of wales, of princess diana, but in fact, although i haven't seen those letters, but he wrote to her quite often in the-in theth '80s and the early '90s and was compassionate in the sense-- look, i know what it's like.co i came into the royal family as a foreigner and as someone outside you know, the british royal tradition and i know acceptance is difficult and the media attention is difficult and i think his-- his attitude was a lot more sympathetic than he's given credit for from outside. >> unfortunately, he wasn't able to help that marriage and i think he was very sad about it because i think he hoped very much that they could resolve the situation 'cos he knew it would be damaging not only to them personally, which it undoubtedly was, but to the institution of monarchy and therefore to-to hia wife. >> in their first official announcement, detectives investigating saturday's fatal crash have said the driver of the

prince philip promised his grandsons if they walked behind their mother's casket, he would join them in support. prince william wrote: i will miss my grandpa, but i know he would want us to get on with the job. harry added, he was authentically himself with a seriously sharp wit and could hold the attention of any room due to his charm and also because you never knew what he might say next. in 2017 at 96, prince philip retired from public life as the queen continued her public engagements. he spent a month in the hospital earlier this year. he died at windsor castle friday, april 9th, after almost a century of life and a marriage of 73 years. >> the main lesson that we've learned is that tolerance is the one essential ingredient in any happy marriage. it may not be quite so important when things are going well, but it is absolutely vital when things get difficult. and you can take it from me that the queen has the quality of tolerance in abundance.

prince philip is much more of the gung-ho type military royal, very upstanding, very brave, very stiff upper lip. prince charles has always been more of a sensitive soul, as i'm sure many of our viewers would know. deeply unhappy at school, more spiritual perhaps. but his other three children, ann, andrew and edward, he's had very different relationships with those three as well. very close to ann. she's probably the closest to him in personality, a real get on with it and carry on as you were type of personality. very sporty. he's a very, very sporty person, prince philip, totally obsessed with ritual and exercise and keeping fit. a very light drinker, gave up smoking on the eve of his wedding because princess elizabeth told him to. so a very, very disciplined man. >> all right. daisy, we want to thank you for your insight, your expertise there. now joining us is british historian andrew roberts. we're coming on again this morning breaking news that prince philip has died. it was just announced by buckingham palace this morning at 7:00. and the last we had heard about prince philip wa

prince philip was exactly the same. courtiers in the building behind me, buckingham palace, regarded him almost with disdain and it was very, very difficult for him to break the mold. he did, of course, through the strength of his personality but it was not an easy beginning for him. >> you know, tim, as we are listening to the military bands in the quadrangle that will be playing as the procession plays itself out before prince philip's body is moved in that specified land rover hearse of his, when you talk about the relationship between elizabeth and philip, this is a man who had a very much self-determined future. to your point, it had to be changed but there was a bit of a kerfuffle, if you will, with regard to the naming of the family. tradition would have certainly had it that elizabeth would have taken his name, mountbatten, and perhaps that would have been the name of the royal family. but, indeed, she knew that history needed to take precedence here and maintain the royal family as the house of windsor. talk ab
