The following text is an extract from a "Google Groups" item on Royal Affairs. For the full text of this story just click the link. It is item which deserves a much wider audience than it will actually get.
"In 1956 the Queen discovered that Prince Philip was having an affair with
Princess Alexandra. She banned him from her bed and the marriage ended in
the conventional sense. In his book 'Queen Elizabeth II, a woman who is not
amused' Nicholas Davies writes at page 169: It is extraordinary that an
affair involving two members of the royal family, one of them married to the
Queen, has remained a secret for so many years. To the nation and their
beloved Commonwealth, the royals have purported to set an example for all
their subjects. Yet, the Queen's consort, the man married to the Head of the
Church of England whose views on adultery were unwaveringly strict, has been
living an adulterous life for most of the 45 years he has been married to
the Queen. Alexandra's daughter, Marina, almost revealed the secret in 1989
when she became pregnant. Her parents urged her to have an abortion and
Marina was so angry that she decided to tell all to a newspaper. Fortunately
for her parents and Elizabeth and Philip caution prevailed and the affair
remained a closely guarded royal confidence known only to a very few."
