In a special tribute to Prince Philip, the Duchess of Cornwall spoke of her late father-in-law's dedication to the Queen and his way of supporting the monarch without being

"flashy". Camilla joined other senior members of the Royal Family in reminiscing about the life of the Duke of Edinburgh, who passed away earlier this year. As Consort to the

monarch, Prince Philip shaped the role that Camilla will one day play when her husband ascends to the throne.  The Duchess of Cornwall said: "I saw the way that he supported the Queen,

not in a flashy sort of way, but just by doing it quietly, following along behind. "It's something that I've learnt by watching him." Her husband, Prince Charles,

continued: "He did make a big difference because it's perhaps more fun than just being totally on your own, and I think Mama did find him a great support. "I think she valued

his judgement on some things." READ MORE: QUEEN CARRYING ON 'WITH A SMILE ON HER FACE' DESPITE LOSS OF HER 'STRENGTH AND STAY' By the time of his death on April 9,

Prince Philip had been married to the Queen for over 73 years.  They had first met in 1939, when the 13-year-old then-Princess Elizabeth accompanied her parents for a tour of the Royal Naval

College in Dartmouth.  The older Prince Philip had been tasked with escorting her and her sister, Princess Margaret, around the base, and they began to exchange letters.  After a year-long

engagement, the couple were married at Westminster Abbey on November 20, 1947.  When the Queen and Prince Philip's eldest son, Prince Charles, ascends the throne, Camilla will follow in

her father-in-law's footsteps and become Princess Consort.  She married the future king in 2005, although their initial relationship had begun during the early 1970s.  The couple had

gone on to marry Lady Diana Spencer and Andrew Parker-Bowles, however, they had initiated an extra-marital affair by 1986.  Due to former negative public opinions regarding Camilla, Clarence

House announced ahead of their wedding that she would be known as the Princess Consort when Charles became king.  However, in recent years, this statement has been removed from the Clarence

House website.
