Here are 10 things named after Queen Elizabeth II’s husband Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh:
The duke is revered as a god by some residents in the South Pacific nation of Vanuatu.
The movement is the religious sect followed by the Kastom people around Yaohnanen village on Tanna island.
A myth told how a spirit left a nearby mountain, flew to a distant land and married a queen.
The cult grew with Prince Philip’s visit to Vanuatu in 1974 when he appeared in his white navy uniform.
The duke has sent the villagers three official portraits over the years, including one of him posing with a nal-nal war club they sent him.
