Prince Philip did not enjoy Queen Elizabeth II’s love for animals, says an expert.
The Duke of Edinburgh reportedly stayed away from her majesty when she was around her lovely corgis.
In his memoir, The Royal Insider, former royal butler Paul Burrell reveals: “Like many animal lovers, The Queen liked having her dogs in the bedroom—even in bed with her. Prince Philip, who did share a bed with his wife, was not so keen and would mumble about ‘those bloody dogs’,” Burrell wrote.
The expert reveals Prince Philip also did not enjoy horse racing.
“At Royal Ascot he would do his duty, accompanying the Queen along the course in her open carriage, but once they were there, he would either race back to Windsor Castleby car or disappear into a room at the back of the Royal Box to watch the cricket,” he noted.
