Left to stargazing of our own, we can report that Prince Philip is a Gemini, and, born on June 10, lives "a roller-coaster of highs and lows..is wildly romantic, vulnerable and kind...a loving mate...a person who loves to perform...and, while good at math, not at ease managing his own finances, so he looks to his mate to handle money."
Meanwhile, it is worth noting that Prince Philip has joined the company of eminent nonagenarians. Among those who preceded him were tennis glamor girl Helen Wills, who won the Wimbledon singles eight times, and could still hop over the net at 93; P.G. Wodehouse, creator of Jeeves and more than 100 novels, who departed this vale of laughter at 94; and John Gielgud, who made eight films after turning ninety, finally going to black at 96.
Among nonagenarians happily still with us are Dave Brubeck and Dal Richards. This suggests the possibility of a trio, with Dal on sax, Brubeck on piano, and Philip? Well, perhaps he'd have a run at singing. He clearly has strong views on vocal performance. At a 1969 concert, he asked Tom Jones "What do you gargle with? Pebbles?"
