On the cusp of turning 60, the Duchess opens up about the Queen’s legacy, her evolving public persona, and moments of normalcy she cherishes.
The Duchess of Edinburgh has a big birthday on Monday. It is best not to mention the number too loudly.
“I’m 21!” she protests, laughing, before being reminded that it is her 60th. “Ooh that’s so mean, you shouldn’t say things like that! It’s a very large number.”
She is joking, mostly, but seems to be telling the truth when she adds: “I don’t know how I got there.”
