Tim GrahamGetty Images Outsiders always improve the Royal Family, even when they don’t like it. When he married then Princess Elizabeth in 1947, the Duke of Edinburgh brought with him a personal style that was, indefinably, from somewhere else. Despite being brought up and educated in Britain after an eleventh-hour escape, at just 18 months old, from his native Greece, the Duke always had a natural affinity for understated style, perhaps stemming from his multinational Greek, Danish and German descent. Fit and tall, his was also the perfect physique for a well-cut suit. Phillip, who died Friday at the age of 99, seemed a modern, even glamorous addition set against the soot-blackened bombed-out rationing-beset landscape of post-war Britain. His clothes, when young, were generally cut slightly roomy, the clothes of an athlete. He embraced neither stuffed-shirt classicism nor (never ever) trendy experimentation. For most of his lifetime, threading that needle between stuffy and fashionable was what defined being called “well-dressed.”
