A new documentary about the Duke of Edinburgh has just revealed Prince Philip’s wedding present to Princess Eugenie—making it one of the last gifts he gave to his beloved granddaughter before his death.
The BBC film, Prince Philip: The Royal Family Remembers, began as a way to honor the Duke of Edinburgh on what would have been his 100th birthday in June. Following Prince Philip’s death at the age of 99 in April, however, the documentary shifted focus to memorialize the late prince consort through interviews with the royal family. These include interviews with Princess Eugenie, who decided to share a sweet memory about her grandfather’s sweet gesture on her wedding day to husband Jack Brooksbank in 2018.
