New TV show claims Prince Philip cheated on the Queen

RANDY Prince Philip cheated on the Queen, a documentary claims.

   OUTRAGE: A new documentary claims Prince Philip cheated on the Queen

The show is expected to cause outrage when it is screened this week.

Philip is also accused of partying with naked showgirls and forcing The Queen Mother out of Buckingham Palace by turning off the heating to her rooms.

The programme claims when Philip, 94, moved into the Palace, he hated not being in control of anything and was sidelined by courtiers.

So he let off steam at boozy parties with celebrities and actors such as the late Peter Ustinov and David Niven at a private gentlemen’s club in London’s Soho.

Historian Dr Piers Brendan tells Inside Buckingham Palace on Channel 5: “It was an escape valve. He and the others behaved like playboys. Naked showgirls were talked about.

“The Queen was perturbed about his activities especially when he came back in an elevated state smelling of port.”

The documentary claims there was gossip about affairs, although no women were ever found.

And when he went off on the royal yacht Britannia without The Queen in 1956, rumours were rife that he had another woman on board.

Royal author Chris Wilson adds: “You could say the royal marriage was on the rocks.”

The show also alleges that the The Duke of Edinburgh hated The Queen Mum.

Mr Wilson says: “It was a cold winter and Philip ordered the servants to switch off the central heating in the Queen Mum’s rooms and within a week she was gone.”

A spokesman for the Queen and Prince Philip refused to comment.
