Him he was so happy and humbled when her majesty Queen Elizabeth made him a knight of the G in in 2006 and was equally delighted and moved the day his majesty the king who we are both incredibly proud to support made him Duke of Edinburgh both he deserves an equal

  12. Love Sophie and Edward, a loving couple, hard worker’s and love for family, happy 60th Birthday Prince Edward, keep up the great work, God Bless!

  13. The Edinburghs are unsung but very important Royals. Many of their engagements are not covered by the major media outlets. We need to see more of Edward and Sophie!

  17. Thank you, Duchess Sophie, for your words. This couple has been underrated simply because they are "boringly" decent and loving, towards each other, their children, their larger family and everyone else.

  19. How sweet is this 💯🥰🥹 – I am sitting here and cry 😭 I hope that I found one day my soulmate as they have found to each other 🫶🏼

  25. Mehr Beiträge von den Edinburghs wäre schön. Besser als die yorks und sussex. Sind so nette leute und ihre kinder auch. Dem herzog von Edinburgh alles alles Gute zum 60. Geburtstag. Haben sie am Sonntag einen schönen tag im kreis ihrer Familie ubd Freunden 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

  26. —- This is so sweet! I hope that Prince Edward has a wonderful upcoming 60th birthday. He is very lucky to have his beautiful wife Sophie. 😊❤️

  38. He seems like a very humble man. He is like his sister, they work hard behind the scenes without many headlines or acknowledgment. It is very apparent he is Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip’s son. I am sure they are looking down with pride.
    From America
    A very Happy Birthday to
    Prince Edward, The Duke of Edinburgh
    🥳🇺🇸🇬🇧

  40. This couple has set the example since day one. A class act! True Royal example. Also Sophie is more beautiful every time you see her, she has discovered the location of the fountain of youth to be sure.

  42. Of all the present day Royals, Prince Edward is the one who most reminds me of King George VI.
    Both appearance and personality, caring and self effacing, Prince Edward and wife Sophie
    are a blessing for the Crown.

  43. What a wonderful speech and her trembling voice brought a tear to my eye. 😢 Happy 60th Prince Edward, you have both come a long way together. ❤💙🌷
