Following the death of HRH Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh on Friday April 9th, ITV news sat down with Her Majesty Queen Rania in 'A Royal Salute special ITV News program dedicated to His Royal Highness, where Her Majesty gave a rare insight into life as a Royal consort.

The program which was filmed in 2020 prior to the pandemic and the Hashemite Kingdom's health guidelines was made to speak on the life of the Duke and his long service as the longest serving consort in British History.

Her Majesty who is consort to His Majesty King Abdullah II spoke about life as a consort defining it as a role that is both specific and indefinable. She continued by saying, "You define it as you go along, based on where you can make a difference, where you are needed and where your passions lie. Because you are in the public eye, you very often aren’t forgiven for the errors."

She then said that the role is always evolving that it changes with the time and with the person.

Her Majesty said that the role and duties of a royal consort as someone when supporting their spouse is to make every effort to alleviate pressure from their spouse, "even if that’s by being a distraction." He/she is to provide a comfortable environment at home to elevate the monarch's mind out of business of the kingdom/country by saying this, "That’s instrumental because the wellbeing of your spouse eventually has an impact on how well they carry out their duties."

Speaking about Prince Philip's experience and personal relationship with Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Her Majesty said that it must not have been easy for him most times but "at the same time he was a constant anchor for Her Majesty. I think she probably wouldn’t have been able to carry on her journey they way she did without him by her side.”
