The late Prince Philip , Duke of Edinburgh , formerly The Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark …….a man of enchanting good looks. A man imbued with a mind of insatiable curiosity , ceaseless interest and determination to read , learn , explore , meet people and encourage all in the departments of science, technology , ALL the Arts and helping them ALL. A man of intellect , intelligence and discipline and running through his blood and bone marrow - a natural sense of duty and service. The Queen , was extremely lucky to have married him and relied on his bone marrow of duty and sense . He might have married anyone but a concatenation of circumstances came to circumscribe the task to him . Like all , he had his faults , principally his attitude and beliefs for Charles being the most unfortunate BUT then , in its context , I can understand his thinking , however wrong he was for Charles. As I say , Elizabeth was jolly lucky that he acquiesced to her “ crush” on him and the overall pressure on him , not just from his uncle Mountbatten , to actually marry her . Indeed he loved her , was loyal and faithful to her and her role and provided her with unwavering support , care , consideration and credibility. IMO
