 Prince Philip at 90 on a lifetime of speaking his mind

Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, has stood at the Queen's side for nearly 60 years. He is recognised the world over and has become the longest serving consort in British history. But he has told the BBC that he had to work out for himself what his role was "by trial and error".

Over the years, the duke has involved himself with more than 800 different organisations.

...His reluctance to speak about all aspects of his life is due to modesty, according to his son, Prince Edward.

"My father plain and simply is very modest about himself and doesn't believe in talking about himself. One of his best pieces of advice he gives to everybody is talk about everything else, don't talk about yourself - nobody's interested in you."

At 90, Prince Philip said he was "winding down" his involvement with charities.

"I reckon I've done my bit so I want to enjoy myself a bit now, with less responsibility, less frantic rushing about, less preparation, less trying to think of something to say. On top of that your memory's going, I can't remember names and things," he admitted.

"It's better to get out before you reach the sell-by date."

The Duke at 90 was broadcast on BBC One on Thursday 9 June at 2100 BST, and is available on BBC iPlayer.
