Prince Phillip, Duke of Edinburgh
The
Duke of Edinburgh, also known as
Prince Philip (b. 1921), is the husband of Queen
Elizabeth II of the
United Kingdom. He was born in
Greece and was a prince of the Greek royal family; evacuated to Britain after a revolutionary
coup d'etat in his homeland, he became a naval cadet and served in the
Royal Navy during the
Second World War. In 1947 he married Princess Elizabeth, who became queen in 1952 on the death of her father, King
George VI.
The Duke cultivates a gruff and sometimes tactless persona, and affects to be impatient of court protocol. This lack of political correctness has led him to be mocked by some in the liberal media, though others admire his directness and robust humor.
