According to the unnamed palace aide, Prince Philip, the former Duke of Edinburgh, once playfully told the Queen, “Oh, do shut up, you silly woman.”

On one occasion, I heard the duke say, ‘Oh, do shut up, you silly woman,’ and the Queen replied, ‘I am not a silly woman, I am the Queen.’
I couldn’t believe my ears, but I was told this was how they always were with one another.”
