One of my former boss's met him just before he 'retired', he said he was a great guy, and very funny. When he said anything inappropriate it was always with a twinkle in his eye. There is a tribe in Vanuatu who believe in the divinity of Prince Philip, and whilst in some quarters the tribe are ridiculed Prince Philip, nor the Royal Family, have ever publicly done or said anything that will ridicule them, and Prince Philip has corresponded with them and acceded to some requests by the tribe for photos. In 2018 during a Royal tour of Oceania Prince Charles visited elders of the tribe, and it is believed that their veneration will be transferred to Prince Charles. This shows what a great man he was, where he could have laughed them off, but instead he treated them with respect and didn't disparage them at all.

First, thank you for delivering such a respectful presentation. I mentioned in my comment to your video of the Queen's coronation that I'm not a monarchist/royalist, simply because she is not an elected Head of State ... but I very much recognize her service to her people both in the UK and elsewhere around the globe. Her husband also by being her Consort has dedicated himself to her and her subjects. The book, briefly shown, penned by Gyles Brandreth entitled 'Philip and Elizabeth' is an exceptionally good read and gives a real indepth account of the man. If it's available for purchase in the US, or via Amazon then I would urge you to get a copy. I do recall the time, (2015), when he's impatiently waiting for the photographer to crack on with taking the group photo and he grumpily snarls, " Just take the f*cking picture ", hahahaha. Of course it made front page news and TV news reports. He notoriously didn't suffer fools, nor did he easily engage in banal chat, and his so-called 'gaffes' were legendary and at times his 'off the cuff' comments were considered racist. One infamous comment he made to a group of British students in China depicted this, " You'll all become slitty eyed if you stay here much longer ". How anyone could not view this as racist is beyond me! So it can be seen by many as difficult to separate the two personalities of the man. We can praise his tireless charity work and his Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme and being his wife's 'strength and stay these many years'. But we can't forget the inappropriate comments he's made! I feel for the Queen, she must be bereft that he's no longer by her side. And his 4 children spoke movingly of their father, although it will always be dragged up that he and Charles, supposedly, had an uneasy relationship! When he 'retired' my first thought was, ' Good, he can't get into any more trouble with the public ". But on reflecting more I couldn't help thinking, ' You've certainly earned your rest '.

What exactly was that for?

In traditional royal hierarchy, a King is higher than a Queen. As Elizabeth was higher than Philip, and She was the Monarch, he couldn’t be called King. However, if you look at Prince William, when he becomes King his wife will become Queen Katherine as she will still be one step below him in the hierarchy.

I'm really glad you did this because while he's known for inappropriate comments he achieved so much. Philip was the consort in the same way that Prince Albert was to Queen Victoria, neither had official power but had considerable influence on the monarch. Until he died many had forgotten his influence on conservation, he co-founded the World Wildlife Fund. It's down to him that Charles, William and Harry are so involved in environmental activism now. He was known to be very concerned about climate change. My mother worked for a friend of his who helped organise equestrian events, especially "four in hand" carriage racing which is more exciting than it sounds, worth a Google. His mother, Princess Alice of Battenberg, is also a fascinating character, born at Windsor Castle, died at Buckingham Palace, and had an extraordinary life. She was named Righteous Among the Nations in 1993 by Yad Vashem for her efforts in hiding Jews during WW2.

Prince Philip was responsible for having the Coronation Televised and so forth, he also introduced POLO to England along with International carriage driving. He was a great innovator. He was known as The Prince Philip, a title bestowed on him by the Queen since he renounced all titles before marriage being Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark. Aka Phil The Greek. All related to Queen Victoria. His British honours were read out at his funeral, held in the United Kingdom, by Thomas Woodcock, Garter Principal King of Arms, as follows: Thus it hath pleased Almighty God to take out of this transitory life unto his divine mercy the late most Illustrious and most Exalted Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, Earl of Merioneth and Baron Greenwich, Knight of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, Knight of the Most Ancient and Most Noble Order of the Thistle, Member of the Order of Merit, Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order upon whom had been conferred the Royal Victorian Chain, Grand Master and Knight Grand Cross of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, Lord High Admiral of the United Kingdom, One of Her Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council, Admiral of the Fleet, Field Marshal in the Army and Marshal of the Royal Air Force, Husband of Her Most Excellent Majesty Elizabeth the Second by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of Her other Realms and Territories, Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith, Sovereign of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, whom may God preserve and bless with long life, health and honour and all worldly happiness. He also believed that since he was the head of the military including the Royal Air Force, he should learn to fly. And he did.

His surname was Mountbatten and its a german name. Hence the reason he wasnt allowed to use his name. this was just after the war, you have to remember.

When it comes to why he’s not King, it’s a bit like how when a man and woman marry the woman traditionally takes the mans last name but not the other way around. If a King marries, his wife inherits the title of Queen consort. But if a Queen marries, her husband doesn’t become King consort (there’s no such thing).

Simply, just like in traditional marriage, the man does not carry the Woman's name.

Queen Elizabeth II is a queen regnant, which means she is female monarch - equivalent in rank and title to a king - who reigns in her own right. This is different from a queen consort, the wife of a reigning king; or a queen regent, who is the mother or guardian of a child who becomes monarch at a young age, and rules temporarily in the child's place until they come of age. As queen regnant Queen Elizabeth II outranked Prince Philip, which is why he was not King.

When my father died & I was clearing his private affairs I found some letters to my father from Prince Philip. My father had written a book about his experiences as a Royal Marine Sergeant during WW2 and had sent a copy to Philip who was then Captain General (I think) of the Royal Marines with an accompanying letter. Philip himself wrote back saying "we share the same humour" (which they did & they looked quite similar).There was a later letter saying he'd read the book & giving it a warm appraisal & there were further letters to & fro over the years. When Prince Harry took over from Philip upon Philip's retirement Philip said, "Don't f**k it up, Harry." He did! Now I think Princess Anne is the Captain General.

The clothes you queried when he was at school look like he was in a costume for a school play? Prince Philip never made a fuss about his childhood and had a 'get on with life' attitude. In an era where men never pushed a pram and were the natural head of the family he had to give up his career to always walk behind his wife at official functions. A wonderful man - thank you for your kind comments.

Because men were historically considered above women, the husband of a Queen remained a Prince (along with other titles like Duke but never King), but the wife of a King does indeed become a Queen (Queen consort).

You can only be a king or queen if your born royal. Being that he had to give up his titles from his family to marry the young princess, he was not officially royal in his own right so became a consort.

Rest in Peace, Prince Philip. I think you know by now that a man would never become King by marrying the Queen - the sovereign of the land must be the rightful heir - it can't be the spouse of the heir, even if that spouse is a man. That's how important being the King or Queen of England, etc etc is. And the King is always a higher title than Queen Consort - a woman can be titled Queen and you would have to know or find out if she is the crowned Monarch of her country, or created Queen because she has married the King. Whereas a King is definitely it. I hope that makes sense.
