Legendary TV gardener Alan Titchmarsh has revealed that the late Queen Elizabeth II was often frustrated with a gardening habit of her husband Prince Philip. The royal pair were happily married for almost 74 years but occasionally had their disagreements.
The Queen reportedly told Titchmarsh that Philip was doing the "kind of gardening" she disliked. The 74-year-old TV star then replied to ask what she meant.
As reported by the Express, the late monarch explained that Philip had been using a "bulldozer" to build a pond at Balmoral - the Queen's beloved home in the Scottish Highlands. It was not the only interaction Titchmarsh had with Philip, as his book about the royal gardens provoked quite a reaction from the then Duke of Edinburgh.
