When once asked what language his family had spoken at home, the prince who was born in Corfu and raised in a shifting succession of palaces and dormitories across Europe, replied: “What do you mean, ‘at home’?” Yet by the time of his death, almost three years afterhe had announced his retirement from public life at the age of 96 in the spring of 2...
If that was what emerged, it was an equality in his relationship with his wife, that was far from immediately evident. The Danish-German prince (with a claim to the Greek throne) won the heart and hand of the next British sovereign and their engagement was announced in 1947. But he had had to overcome stiff opposition among the serried ranks of the...
Among those to forcibly veto such a notion (Philip himself had only taken the name relatively recently in an attempt to distance himself from the German side of his heritage) was Winston Churchill. Philip did not take the rejection lightly. According to the most often repeated version of his response, he said: “I am the only man in the country not ...
The death of George VI, which the Duke broke to his wife while they were on safari in Kenya, brought such liberty to a juddering halt and while the young Queen began the steep learning curve of coping with her duties as sovereign, her husband began the equally testing role of defining his own role after finding himself unceremoniously dethroned as ...
It is unhelpful to the caricature of Prince Philip as an unwavering but pugnacious consort (a title which was never formally bestowed upon him) whose chief talent was a dizzying facility in off-colour one-liners that he was widely read and probably the cleverest member of his family. His private library at Windsor consists of 11,000 tomes, among th...
Some 61 years later, the Duke of Edinburgh awards have been bestowed upon some 2.5 million youngsters in Britain and some eight million worldwide. Indeed, the “DofE” is likely to be Prince Philip’s most enduring legacy. For a man who once referred to himself as a “Greek princeling of no consequence”, his pioneering tutelage of these two organisatio...
The bulging compendium of his epithets ranges from gaffes that showed him to be a man of his (often misogynistic, at times casually racist) era to paint-stripping rudeness. A former royal protection officer recounts how while on night duty guarding a visiting Queen and consort, he engaged in conversation with colleagues on a passing patrol. It was ...
In the case of the royal protection officer, the Duke turned up in the room used by the police officers when off duty and said: “Terribly sorry about last night, wasn’t quite feeling myself.” Aides have also ventured to explain away some of their employer’s more outlandish remarks – from asking Cayman islanders “You are descended from pirates aren’...
Such bombast should be taken at face value – there could be a brutality to the conduct of the prince and for those who knew him its roots lay in his disjointed, somewhat unloving childhood. The loss of his mother, Princess Alice of Battenberg, to a breakdown subsequently diagnosed as paranoid schizophrenia, and the inability of his father, Prince A...
Most notably, his counsel to Princess Dianaduring the break up of her marriage showed significantly more empathy than she received from elsewhere in the royal family. His former aide said: “The Duke has never lacked confidence, nor determination, nor courage. What he has acquired is a tolerance and kindness that probably was never shown to him and ...
