On the occasion of his 100th birthday, we celebrate the life and achievements of His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. This highly illustrated souvenir guide depicts the major events in his life, from his boyhood in Corfu and his naval and wartime service, to his marriage to Her Majesty The Queen, his support for the sovereign on state visits and his patronage of more than 800 charities. Drawing on private archives as well as official records, the book considers the many sides to the UK's longest serving Prince Consort, on a personal level as a son, husband and father, as a sportsman and artist, and his role as a champion of science and industry and a leader in environmental and conservation causes. With more than 150 images of His Royal Highness, this personal yet authoritative account offers a fresh look at a lifetime of achievements.
