Secret to Old Age ~

Prince Phillip, Duke of Edinburgh, once said, "I can only assume that it is largely due to the accumulation of toasts to my health over the years that I am still enjoying a fairly satisfactory state of health and have reached such an unexpectedly great age."

Prince Phillip is hospitalized this week for exploratory abdominal surgery.  Royal watchers are wishing the Prince continued good health. Prince Phillip was born in Greece on June 10, 1921.
