The Queens Man Philip Duke of Edinburgh Dies..

The Queens Man Philip Duke of Edinburgh Dies.. Until her fathers health began deteriorating the couple could have been mistaken for any other happy young husband and wife. She had been just 13 when they met. He was the striking handsome 18 year old guide who took her and her sister on a tour of his naval college. She was infatuated. During the war when he was on a battleship in the Mediterranean she kept his photograph on her dressing table even though her father who stuttered a lot didnt quite approve. But he came courting anyway and eventually permission was given to marry. They had a spectacular wedding enjoyed postings to naval assignments including Malta. They had had two kids by the time they were traveling in Africa and got the news. Lilibets father King George VI had died. At age 25 she had succeeded to the British throne as Elizabeth II. Everything also changed for her husband Philip. A man who was in Kenya with the couple recalled the transformations that took place on Feb 6 1952. Speaking to the journalist Fiammetta Rocco of The Independent he said of the succession She seemed almost to reach out for it. There were no tears. She was just there back braced her color a little heightened. Just waiting for her destiny. Her husband by contrast sat almost crumpled behind the newspaper he was reading. He didnt want it at all. It was going to change his whole life take away the emotional stability he d finally found. Philip Mountbatten in the White Drawing Room at Buckingham Palace in London in October 1947. Gamma Keystone France Getty... Prince Philip died Friday morning at Windsor Castle Buckingham Palace said. He was 99. Philips health had been deteriorating for years with each scare making headlines. In 2018 Prince Philip underwent a hip replacement and just weeks later made a grand entrance with the Queen at the royal wedding of his grandson Prince Harry to American actress Meghan Markle. Later Philip was examined by a doctor after he was in a car accident at Sandringham in January 2019 that flipped the Land Rover he was driving and injured two female passengers. He spent four night in a London hospital that December to treat a pre existing condition and was released just before Christmas. The retired Prince then kept a low profile during the coronavirus pandemic while the Queen primarily fulfilled her duties remotely. He was hospitalized again in February 2021 for what Buckingham Palace vaguely described as a precautionary measure after feeling unwell. Philip had long ago surpassed the record for a man with the title of Consort. The closest was Philip and Elizabeths common great great grandfather Albert of Saxe Coburg Gotha who was Prince Consort to Queen Victoria during their 21 years of marriage. Philip who received the title of Duke of Edinburgh upon marrying Elizabeth in 1947 would before retiring from public engagements in the summer of 2017 perform the duties for seven decades through scandals and flamboyant in laws with just enough audible grousing from him now and then to make everyone remember what a strange business it was. His Unstable Upbringing If anyone was a princely pauper it was Philip Schleswig Holstein Sonderburg Glucksburg who was born in 1921 atop a kitchen table on the island of Corfu in the Ionian sea. His father was the seventh son of a Danish prince who had been plucked out of Scandinavia to become King of Greece. The Greek royal house was constantly in and out of power depending on coup detats until the monarchy was officially abolished in the 1970s. Philip was 18 months old when his father had to flee Greece and was never anywhere close to ever becoming King of the Hellenes. His mother was a Battenberg a British family of German origin that changed its surname to Mountbatten during World War I about the same time the British royal family opted to become the Windsors instead of the Saxe Coburg Gothas. His father Andrew was addicted to gambling his mother Alice was practically deaf and communicated via sign language. Their marriage ended when Philip was 10 years old. Raising her four daughters and young son by dint of loans limited family legacies and hand me downs Alice of Greece would eventually seek solace in religion and become a nun. At the end of her life she lived in Buckingham Palace walking the halls in her wimple. Her daughters would seek their fortunes in marriages in distant places. Philip was shuttled from country to country from Greece the family moved to Paris when his parents split up he ended up in England for a couple of years and then was taken over by German relatives.
