Did not know that he had so much difficulties, as a child and later in England. He sure grew into the role and became a backbone of "The Firm", while still remaining his own self. Rest in Peace, Prince Philip.

Ninety nine's a good innings, pity he didn't get to see his 100th birthday though.

Good documentary on him on German TV, made me feeling even greater respect for him.

I also recalled two British students (at that time there still was a British garrison in Osnabrück) in Germany who never were aware of how close the relations between German and British noble houses were and are. When I told them (Victoria + Albert, Elizabeth II and Philip), they reacted first with disbelief, then with anger, and then did not talk with me again for weeks.

How must it have been for Philip after WWII. He had to bite his way through it.
