Prince Philip Receives His Royal Title from King George | The Crown (Matt Smith, Jared Harris) 

Same thing as his father and daughter Margaret. All three of them smoked like chimneys.

I assumed it accelerated lung cancer cause he had to get a lung removed earlier on.

@@rockmanx00777 actually he did have his entire left lung removed and part of his right. My guess is that his physicians could not remove all the cancer

And he was only 56 as well, and would have had the best health care in the world at the time. Compare this to Elizabeth who loved until she was 96.

He shouldn't have had to. I've never heard of anyone else having to give up their royal titles when marrying into the British or any other royal family.

@@SR-iy4gg a female royal, upon marrying a male royal assumes the feminine version of his styles. Just because you may not have heard of it doesn’t mean it’s not what happens. There’s a very good reason why, HRH The Princess Elizabeth married a commoner who renounced his foreign princely titles, and that is to preserve her title, and to not introduce confusion as to which house she belong to. As the future head of a Ruling house - the House of Windsor, it was imperative for the British government and the royal family, that Elizabeth remain Britain’s princess, and not to be titled as a minor princess of a more minor royal house. The closest example was the marriage of HRH Princess Maud of Wales. She was the youngest daughter of Edward VII and married a prince from Denmark. Her title became HRH Princess Charles of Denmark. Through a series of interesting events, he eventually became King Haakon VII of Norway, and Maud became the Queen of Norway. Not bad for marrying a minor royal in a non-ruling house. In Elizabeth’s case, there is no way upon her marriage to Prince Philip that the British establishment would have allowed the heiress presumptive to be HRH Princess Philip of Denmark and Greece. Quite simply Elizabeth would have never assumed titles from a more minor, non-ruling,and deposed royal house.

@@briandfallon74 Charles was, as I recall, the second son of the then-king of Sweden. Not exactly a minor Royal. There is a precedent for a royal giving up their titles in one country because they married into another House. Queen Anne-Marie of the Hellenes was born a Princess of Denmark. On order for consent to her marriage to Constantine II to be granted, she had to renounce her Danish titles upon marriage. Her other sister, Benedikte, has different conditions: in order for her children to have succession rights in Denmark, they had to be brought up in Sweden (they weren't). There is still some question as to whether that condition was legal.

@@gidzmobug2323 second sons of reigning monarchs are an interesting lot. Ask Princes Edward and Harry about that. Philip was a minor royal and the Swedish throne was in the exact same Royal House as Philip. Elizabeth would never have been allowed to be HRH Princess Philip of Denmark and Greece.

@@briandfallon74 Edward is the third son of Elizabeth and Philip (Andrew is the second). But I would not consider Edward a minor Royal.

Agreed. He was not made a prince again until after his wife had been queen several years already.

@@SR-iy4gg Imagine being out-ranked in title by your 8 year old son...

Yes, he did. He received the HRH title immediately and became the Duke of Edinburgh officially at the wedding. For the 20 hours or so before the wedding he was officially known as HRH Sir Philip Mountbatten. He did not become a Prince of the UK until several years later, but that had no bearing on his HRH.

@@Otaku155he was always going to be outranked. The heir apparent is number two on the official order of precedence. Elizabeth changed the royal family order to place Philip second, ahead of Charles, but at official state events, Philip was always behind Charles. And he knew this would happen from the moment he married Elizabeth.

@@jasonkoch3182 Once he was elevated to Prince, he and his son were the same rank.

Order of Bath, likely Knight Grand Cross of the Order of Bath First Class

Boss move. Basically saying he's reluctant to award him, don't eff it up.

King didn't look to happy

No, because the modern Greek royal family was imported from Germany when Greece gained independence. They were not native to Greece.

@@ExVeritateLibertas Damn, sounds like a quasi-Zionist plot.

@@ExVeritateLibertas *DENMARK* ( *House of* *Glücksburg* ) Scandinavian (Denmark and Norway royal families) The full name is: House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg- Glücksburg It is a cadet branch of the ancient Oldenburg Dynasty (1101 CE) that goes back even further to the Kings of the Dark Ages NOT "German" per-se. like the Hanovers (Queen Victoria) or her husband Albert (Saxe-Coburg and Gotha)

@ dand3953 The British Royals have been German ... Germanic, since George 1st (1660 -- 1727) (i.e. House of Hanover) = George 1, 2, 3, 4, William IV then Victoria (Hanover) Victoria married (m. 1840) Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (also German) These people married other Germans from other royal houses. Most of the Scandinavian and German royals are Protestants. As are the British ... Since Henry VIII In 1917 George V declared that the British Royal Family's name (i.e. Saxe-Coburg and Gotha) would be changed to WINDSOR.[1] Prince Philip is from a Danish (Scandinavian)/German royal family. Queen Elizabeth's mother was Scottish. Princess Diana was English, Catherine Middleton Windsor (Prince William's wife) is English So, the BRF is now and for the foreseeable future is going to be more English/Scots -=British than German Prior to the Germans, the last English/Scots monarch to sit on the throne was Queen Anne of the UK (1665--1714) She was the last monarch of the Stuart dynasty. She had no surviving children so the Crown was supposed to go to her cousin (whose mother was a Stuart) named Sophia of Hanover. Anne outlived Sophia; so Sophia's son became George 1st of the UK. _____________________________ 1.) RE: 1917 LAW It wasn't just the Saxe-Coburg and Gotha --> WINDSOR Battenberg --> MOUNTBATTEN Teck --> CAMBRIDGE George V 's wife, Queen-consort Mary, was a Teck before her marriage to George V. She had two brothers who changed their surname to Cambridge (both had been raised in the UK - as had Queen-consort Mary) The Battenberg --> Mountbatten family had also been raised in the UK The Teck and Battenberg princes who had married British princesses were chosen by Queen Victoria because the were willing to move to the UK (both lacked land and were second sons) Queen Victoria didn't care! She and the others running the British empire were making piles of money!
