The Duke of Edinburgh was a famous public figure, but some facts about the Queen’s husband were perhaps less well-documented:
1. He was worshipped as a god by the people of Tanna, one of the islands in Vanuatu in the South West Pacific.
2. He was a prolific writer and had 14 books published on environmental, technological, equestrian and other issues including The Environmental Revolution (1978); Men, Machines And Sacred Cows (1984); and 30 Years On And Off The Box Seat (2004).
