Prince Philip's education began at an American school in Saint-Cloud. However, his grandmother, Lady Milford Haven, advised Princess Alice to have him educated in England. He subsequently departed for the Surrey preparatory school Cheam.

Later service in the war saw Philip promoted to the rank of Lieutenant and serving during the invasion of Sicily. Philip was also present onboard HMS Whelp at the surrender of Japanese forces in Tokyo Bay.


Marriage:

Prince Philip married the heiress presumptive to the British throne, The Princess Elizabeth on 20 November 1947 and they were known as T.R.H. The Duke & Duchess of Edinburgh until the Queen's succession on 06 of February 1952 when her father King George VI died at Sandringham House in Norfolk.

Princess Cassandra

The picture is great and totally unexpected. Happy Birthday to HRH!

wannable

Yes a nice picture, and a Happy Birthday. Plus all the old pictures posted by Royal Family, Clarence House and Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

I can't help comment that social media are coming up with all sorts of conspiracy theories of cutout pictures, photoshopped, that PP is dead, that PP killed Diana by getting the driver drunk, disabling the car breaks, he's a racist. I know social media is toxic, and the world is mad.

Wonderful photograph with a splendid blue sky! Happy, Joyous Birthday to Prince Philip!

I hope Philip had a great birthday. It's a great achievement getting to near one's century. The environment would be strange however, no relatives visiting, no face to face, hugs etc.

It's all over the internet that the latest photo (for the birthday) has been photoshopped. It's a sweet photo but there is something odd looking about it.
