Britain’s late Prince Philip, husband of Queen Elizabeth and Duke of Edinburgh, visited Chennai twice along with the Queen in 1961 and 1997. Historian V. Sriram recalls a photograph where the Prince was seated at the back of the open car along with the former President R. Venkataraman during his visit in 1961. The royal couple had attended lunch at Chettinad House then. Condoling the death of Prince Philip on Friday, the Prince of Arcot, Nawab Mohammed Abdul Ali, recalled his meeting with the Queen and Prince Philip.More Related News
