Oscar Fingal O’Flahertie Wills Wilde was an Irish poet and playwright. Born October 16, 1854, in Co. Dublin, to professional and literary parents, Wilde was a spokesman for the late 19th-century Aesthetic movement in England, which advocated art for art’s sake.
It is difficult to think of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, dead. He seemed to be always by Queen Elizabeth’s side. His pedigree was royal through and through. The way in which he entered the world was unusual. On June 10th, 1921, he was born on the kitchen table in Mon Repos, a villa on the island of Corfu, Greece.
