Resilience and perseverance in the journey of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. A timeline of obstacles and growth.
Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, was the husband of Queen Elizabeth II and the longest-serving royal consort in British history, from 1952 until his death in 2021. His life was dedicated to supporting the Queen and the monarchy. He had a distinguished naval career and was known for his outspoken nature and commitment to various charitable causes, particularly those related to the environment, sports, and youth development, such as The Duke of Edinburgh's Award.
In September 1922, King Constantine I, Philip's uncle and high commander of the Greek expeditionary force, was forced to abdicate due to significant losses in the war. Andrew, Philip's father, was arrested along with others, leading to his banishment from Greece.
In 1937, Philip's sister Cecilie, her husband Georg Donatus, their two sons, and Georg Donatus's mother were killed in an air crash at Ostend. Philip attended the funeral in Darmstadt.
By 1992, Charles and Diana's marriage had broken down, and Elizabeth and Philip hosted a meeting to attempt reconciliation, without success. Philip wrote letters to Diana about the extra-marital affairs.
