About Prince Philip, Duck of Edinburgh
Sunny Wong
When we were young, we all liked to hear the stories of princes and princesses. Here is the story of a prince near us—the British Prince Philip who died recently.
Prince Philip is the husband of Queen Elizabeth II. He and the Queen are actually relatives; they are both great-grandchildren of Queen Victoria. Philip is the son of the daughter of the daughter of Queen Victoria. Elizabeth is the daughter of the son of the son of Queen Victoria. Philip himself was the prince of Greece and Denmark. His mother married Philip's father, Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark, who lived in Greece and gave birth to Philip.
The good times didn't last long. When Philip was only 18 months old, his Greek king grandfather was assassinated and his uncle succeeded. He was forced to abdicate during World War I. Most members of the royal family were exiled to Switzerland. The family returned to Greece a few years later. His father, Prince Andrew, participated in the war between Greece and Turkey. The war was not good for Greece. Prince Andrew was accused of making mistakes, and his family was exiled the second time, they moved to France, living on financial support from relatives. Philip's mother, Alice, had a severe nervous breakdown and was sent to a treatment center. The father left his mother to live with an actress. He spent his childhood in different relatives and friends’ homes and boarding schools. He grew up and received education in France, Germany and the United Kingdom, and later served in the Royal Navy and married the Queen. After marriage, he has always been with the Queen to support her. Their marriage became the longest marriage in royal history. Life in the royal family is not easy, especially the long 73 year marriage. His children are not allowed to inherit his surname by the British Royal Family and Parliament, and the British Royal Family's surname shall be used. His childhood experience honed him into a strong man. He is down-to-earth, humorous, and outspoken. He founded the Duke of Edinburgh Award to help and encourage young people aged 14-24 to accept challenges and breakthrough their boundaries. He also supported 750 world organizations to make contributions to the UK and the world.
May God carry the spirit of Prince Philip and comfort the Queen and her family!
