Young Prince Philip: His Turbulent Early Life
Born in Mon Repos on the Greek island of Corfu on 10 June 1921, the longest-serving royal consort in British history was the only son and fifth and final child of Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark and Princess Alice of Battenbergthe. During his school days at The Elms, an American school in Paris run by Donald MacJannet, he was lovingly known as a âknow it all smarty person, but always remarkably polite.â
In the summer of 1938, Philip was staying with his aunt Aspasia, in Venice. A 2011 book âYoung Prince Philip: His Turbulent Early Lifeâ by Philip Eade spells out his childhood mischiefs and how his own father was worried his son might get into âgirl troubleâ when he was only 17.

LONDON (Reuters) -Prince Philip, husband of Queen Elizabeth and a leading figure in the British royal family for almost seven decades, has died aged 99, Buckingham Palace said on Friday.
The Duke of Edinburgh, as he was officially known, had been by his wifeâs side throughout her 69-year reign, the longest in British history, during which time he earned a reputation for a tough, no-nonsense attitude and a propensity for occasional gaffes.
âIt is with deep sorrow that Her Majesty The Queen announces the death of her beloved husband, His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh,â the palace said in a statement.
