The Real Reason Why Prince Philip Didn't Live With The Queen

Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip first laid eyes on each other at a family wedding when the queen was only a child, and when they next saw each other in their teenage years, it was reportedly love at first sight. The two were married at Westminster Abbey in 1947, thus beginning the longest-running royal marriage in the history of the British monarchy.
So why did they live in separate houses?
Late in his life, Prince Philip moved into a cottage at Sandringham, where he spent his last years reading, painting, and cooking. Meanwhile, the queen stayed at Buckingham Palace. What caused this royal split? Here's the real reason Prince Philip didn't live with the queen.

At 55 I've had to move into the spare bed. I'm sick of waking up cold with "ALL" the blankets gone & draped over my wife & the floor on her side but the kicker "pun intended" was the constant kicking of my ghoolies in the middle of the night. It's wonderful having a entire queen size bed to yourself with no one stealing the blankets but the best by far is no more being kicked or kneed in the nut's. Not a pleasurable way to be woken up. Once or twice but then learning not to do it anymore was the goal over the past 10 years but to constantly keep doing it is cruel, nasty.
