Prince Philipmay haveretired from royal duties, but he continues to stay busy with one of his favorite activities: carriage driving!
Although Philip largely stays out of the public eye these days, his carriage rides through Windsor Great Park have remained a regular activity. Earlier this month, he took a different ride out for a spin. Instead of a solo carriage, the royal opted for one with two rows of benches for his aides on Nov. 12.

Although he has handed off his royal duties,Prince Philiphasjoined his wife as special occasions, including the weddings of his grandchildren,Prince HarryandPrincess Eugenie, this year. In June, the royal returned to the spotlight toattend the Royal Windsor Cup polo match.
While Philip has missed a few royal events over the summer — most notablyTrooping the Colour, the official celebration of the Queen’s birthday, andRoyal Ascot— polo is his passion. He clearly wanted to support the 92-year-old monarch as she handed out prizes.
