The queen, Prince William and his new bride Kate
Middleton joined the rest of the royal family to celebrate Philip's birthday.
Sportsmen, foreign royals, Prince Philip's godchildren and staff who have
worked for the royal family were among the 750 guests invited to the church
service at the chapel at Windsor Castle Sunday and to a reception.
Philip, also
known as the Duke of Edinburgh, married the queen in 1947. He is the son of the
late Prince Andrew of Greece and a great-great-grandson of Britain's Queen
Victoria, giving him deep royal roots. He turned 90 on Friday.
