Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip always laugh together

The secret to Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip’s lasting love is "laughter", according to royal biographer Ingrid Seward.
The royal couple are celebrating their 70th wedding anniversary, and the whopping milestone has left people wondering what exactly it is that has kept them together for so long.
Royal biographer Ingrid Seward believes the answer is humour, and credits Queen Elizabeth, 91, as a "wonderful mimic" who can do a variety of accents which endlessly amuse her 96-year-old spouse.
Speaking on ‘Loose Women’ on Monday (20.11.17), Ingrid said: "I think the secret is they laugh together, we all know that life is very, very difficult. I think the queen is [the comedian] she’s a wonderful mimic, absolutely brilliant mimic. She can do Liverpool, she can do Liverpool really well, she does Irish she can do all kinds of accents. She’s very good at American as well."
The biographer also believes Philip was a "house husband" when Elizabeth became Queen in 1952, as it was often up to him to look after their children, Prince Charles, 69, Princess Anne, 67, Prince Andrew, 57, and Prince Edward, 53.
Ingrid added: "I always say Prince Philip was a house husband, which he would not like, because he wasn’t because he was in the Navy, he was a Naval officer.
"He spent a lot of time dealing with the children because the queen was 25 years old and suddenly she was sitting doing all the state business and meeting people every 10 to 20 minutes of the day."
The happy couple also still share a bedroom, although Prince Philip does have his own room for when he’s sick, or if he should ever come home late.
Ingrid said: "They have a bedroom together and as aristocratic people used to do – I don’t know if they still do – the man has his own bedroom. If he’s sick, if he’s had a late night or he’s been out with the boys. I think it’s a really good idea."
