In an interview with The West Block‘s Mercedes Stephenson, former Canadian prime minister Jean Chrétien — who lost his wife of 63 years, Aline, in September — reflects on the difficult task of losing a loved one during the pandemic as well as on his personal memories of Prince Philip. “She is a very courageous and intelligent and dedicated person,” he says of Queen Elizabeth II. “So she would face the storm and it’s going to be difficult. I went through that — to lose your partner. For me, it was 63 years of marriage and five years of friendship. And this is even longer for the Queen and Prince Philip.
