1921 - Prince Philip of Greece & Denmark was born in Mon Repos on the Greek island of Corfu as the 5th child and only son of Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark and his wife Princess Alice of Battenberg. You are still missed Sir.
I can see why Princess Elizabeth was smitten.
She has been known to say that he always made her laugh.
When he accompanied his Grandsons during their Mother's funeral procession my esteem for him went sky high. Seeing his gentle pat on William's back as they passed through Horse Guards Parade will always be a memory of that dreadful time. It's come to light that on the eve of the day The Duke said to William "I’ll walk if you walk." Meaning if you walk I'll be there to support you all the way.
