A great man .
Must have been very hard at the outset of their marriage to see your young wife pulled into the role of the Queen at such a young age .
I think he kept thing together in the family , through extraordinary times in the UK , massive era of change , family tragedy and yes ,controversy .
At least one of his children should take note , maybe some others .
RIP

Mentally yes, not talking about hard work as in a 'job' or 'life' , he was heading for his dream role as chief of the Admiralty when all that happened and the queen only 5 years into the marriage take on her role , yes its out of our scope and world , yes they are privileged beyond belief , however must have effected him personally as his identity changed beyond recognition as a young man , he jsut got on wit it , you can see it did not fit easy form his mercurial manner and outbursts.
Massive conservationist back in the 80's he was banging on industrial and economic growth likely to badly effect nature in a bad way ,way before Greta
I've no idea how you know so much about his personality before the queen became the queen, but ok let's accept you do.
He dated the next in line to throne for however long it was, and then had five years of marriage so I'm going to guess that it didn't come as the greatest of surprises to him.
why was he a great man?
didn't he start writing letters to the future queen when she was 13 and he was 18?
Yes but he was part of the aristocracy. So it's absolutely fine to fancy kids. Its only paedophilia when normal people do it.
His lad Andrew has taken that step a bit higher.
Don’t you mean “Lower”?
I was looking at it from their point of view
He was pushed towards the Queen by Louis Mountbatten who wanted to be a King Maker. He wanted Phil to become King after George VI.
I bet Boro fans are relieved, Warnock was just about to offer him a 3 year deal with a years option to extend.
so when he was 18 his weird uncle tried to set him up with his 13 year old cousin .
not sure that's any better
Mountbatten wanted to be a ‘King Maker’ and run the Royal Family, a true Battenburg, he had Philip in line to be King after George VI died. He wasn’t too happy his plan didn’t work. He then took Charles under his wing and had plans for him.
I' not sure what you are suggesting with your last sentence???
