Prince Philip, husband to Queen Elizabeth II for more than seven decades, died on April 9 just two months short of his 100th birthday.
Over the course of his marriage to Queen Elizabeth II, the Royal Couple visited Canada more than 20 times together, with twelve of those official visits bringing them to BC.
Prince Philip travelled to Canada even more frequently on his own, visiting the Commonwealth country more than 45 times, more than any other member of the Royal Family.
Prince Philip, and Queen Elizabeth II, made a Merritt connection on their 1959 visit to BC, when they visited the Douglas Lake Ranch, which was owned at the time by renowned sportsman and western rider, Chunky Woodward, of the Woodward’s Department Stores chain family.
