The Duke is expected to “keep the festivities low-key,celebrating the beginning of his hundredth year with a birthday lunch with the Queen.
Prince Philip will get an extra special gift when he hits 100 next year, as centenarians in the U.K. receive a letter from the Queen herself according to reports.
