Queen Elizabeth was a pillar of wisdom about many things and as a woman who was married for almost 74 years, this includes marriage. In her "first" solo meeting with her in December 2010, the Princess of Wales was apparently given advice by the monarch, who apparently recognised the similarities between Prince Philip and Prince William.
In his new book, William & Catherine, royal expert Russell Myers describes how, according to one former courtier, Queen Elizabeth "offered words of encouragement to Catherine regarding her future role as a senior member of the family, as well as guidance in how to deal with ‘headstrong’ husbands".
