Prince Philip, husband of Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II, dies
Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, the husband of Queen Elizabeth II, died Friday. He was 99. An announcement from Buckingham Palace said he “passed away peacefully this morning at Windsor Castle.” Born into an era of dying European monarchies, Philippos Andreou of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderberg-Glücksburg, prince of Greece and Denmark, was born in 1921, sixth in line to the Greek throne. Amid revolution and death threats, Philip’s father, Prince Andrea of Greece, fled into exile with his wife, Princess Alice of Battenberg, four daughters, and 18-month-old Philip. By the time Philip was 10 and living in a Scottish boarding school, his sisters had married, his mother was institutionalized, and his father moved to Monte Carlo with his mistress. Nonetheless, embodying the stoic pragmatism of his generation and adopted nation, Philip told a reporter in 2011 his childhood home was “wherever I happened to be.” HOW DID HE AND ELIZABETH MEET? While a cadet in the Royal Navy, he met 13-year-old Princess Elizabeth, a distant cousin, and began a long-distance courtship that lasted throughout World War II. Before marrying Elizabeth in 1947, Philip renounced his Greek legacy and became a naturalized British subject. In 1951, when his wife’s ascendency to the throne became imminent, he resigned his naval commission having risen to the rank of commander. Philip’s tense relationship with the media reared its head often following public gaffes for which he was renowned. When visiting the Cayman Islands in 1994 he asked a resident, “Aren’t most of you descended from pirates?” But the press could only watch in admiration when Philip joined his grandchildren Prince William, 15, and Prince Harry, 12, during the funeral procession of their mother, Princess Diana, in 1997. The boys did not want to walk behind their mother’s coffin at first, but Philip feared they would later regret it if they didn’t. “If you like, I’ll walk with you,” he famously told them. As royal consort to the queen—a title with no job description—Philip charted his own path, taking on the role of champion for more than 800 charities ranging from youth advocacy to the environment to technological advancements. He is survived by his wife, four children, eight grandchildren, and nine great-grandchildren.

Prince Philip had a walk-on part in the royal drama, but he played it to perfection
There must have been intense frustration at the limitations of his role, but he was a rock for his hardworking wife * Duke of Edinburgh, Queen’s husband of 73 years, dies – latest updates It is not disparaging of Prince Philip, who has died aged 99, to say he was always a walk-on part in the pantomime of monarchy. It was a part in which he was a star. Plucked from the ranks of lesser European royalty as the “suitable” husband for a queen, he was perfectly cast. Nephew of the king of Greece, safely naval and effortlessly gracious, he took to his assigned role as if to the manner born. He served in the war, but when his wife became queen in 1952, he gave up a naval career. While known as the Queen’s consort, he did not hold the title Prince Consort, one confined to Victoria’s Albert. The monarchy in the 1950s faced not a crisis but questions inevitable for so archaic an institution in a state recently traumatised by war and transformed by a socialist parliament. A minor strain of republicanism ran through the House of Commons. Postwar meant modernity as well as austerity. The monarchy was still bruised by the forced abdication of the Queen’s uncle, Edward VIII, albeit soothed by the exemplary wartime conduct of her father, George VI. All the same, the monarchy could do without a shock. Continue reading...
