In 1995, Prince Philip sat down with Richard Astbury to look back upon his service with the Royal Navy and his experiences during the Second World War.
The Duke of Edinburgh was mentioned in dispatches for his role operating searchlights in the Battle of Cape Matapan, in 1941, and was even present when the Japanese surrender was signed in September 1945, escorting the USS Missouri into Tokyo Bay.

I met him in New Zealand in 1970 I think, when he was on a tour by himself. (I am vague on the actual date). I was a young officer in the army and responsible for part of the security along the route he took through Christchurch. It was cold and raining, of course my men and I got wet. Later on in the officers mess, I was there with some other young officers when Prince Philip came in, shook our hands and said "sorry to have you and your chaps out in this rain, can I have a beer with you all?" My impression was a very down to earth and humble man.......Rest In Peace......

It feels like over and over again the interviewer is trying to set him up as a hero, but over and over again the Duke is reciting how he actually saw the second world war on the ground (or in the sea, so to speak), a humble hero and a constant source of strength. what a legend

Seconded. I think it's perceived wrongly, it's not that he and his ilk didn't have emotions, they just maintained dignity and kept their feelings to their private circle. Elton John may have bawled his ways through his maudlin grotesquerie at Diana's funeral for the unwashed masses and Spencer may have aimed at others whilst evading his own responsibility and neglect but it was Philip who touched the boys at the end of the walk, Philip who walked only for them. I have the deepest sympathy for combat veterans (or anyone) with PTSD or any other mental illness. But it doesn't need to be broadcast to the world and doing so achieves nothing - we've lost the line between public and personal. My personal is not public and shouldn't be. His generation embodied this British reserve and it's immense in its quiet dignity.

It's what used to characterize a man. Sean Connery is a latter example of said character but an example nonetheless. So many great character traits have been lost . One thing I admire about guys from his era was their ability to provide a never ending supply of witty quips, and for lack of a better term "ball busting." If a guy from Philips era takes a verbal jab at you, it's expected that you will reply with one equally as clever and humorous. I've always thought, if I had the chance to meet anyone from the Royal Family it would have been Philip. II hope his grandchildren truly took advantage of all the things they could learn from him

He must have studied every text on warfare from Caesar's War in Gaul up to the 20th Century before he became active in the military. He had a mind made for such things. Mr. Churchill made the speeches but men like Philip did the work. Those who fought that war (most now, alas, gone) deserve our respect, appreciation, love even. The Duke was also an excellent story teller.

And that sense of reality is so great to listen to.

@BigRec Red yet he could've tried to use his status to avoid Royal Navy service and he didn't. I think you overestimate how safe being in the Navy was in WW2, even the odd storm or random sea-mine could end your life in an instant. The U.S navy lost 3 destroyers and nearly 800 men in a typhoon in 1944. Random mishaps, natural disasters etc killed many men in the same position as Prince Phillip during the course of WW2. Even ships that weren't in the front lines were at constant threat of Submarines, look at HMS Barham. Barham was a battleship that was in convoy with HMS Valiant (The ship Phillip was on) and Barham was sunk by a U-Boat with the loss of 850+ lives. I think you're trying to compare today's naval service to that of WW2 and they couldn't be further apart.

WW2 Allies knew what they were fighting for. The preservation of liberty and democracy, the defeat of fascism, stopping global genocide. the defeat of pure evil. There is obvious pride in their service, and their sacrifices brought us a clear and righteous victory. Our modern soldiers in comparison are merely puppets of the military industrial complex. They don’t know what they’re fighting for. Just toys for the world’s rich elite to play with. What do they have to be proud of? What “victory” does their sacrifice achieve? That’s the root of a modern soldier’s broken mind.

I dk what you know about his childhood, but it was about as bad as it could be, even if he _was_ royal through and through, and it was interesting as anything I’ve ever read. A lot of his stoicism came from that childhood, which was rootless for him and he often didn’t have either of his parents with him and never was told where they were….he _never_ had a home to go to! The Greeks deposed his uncle when he was a toddler, and his father quit, just left his family and went to the South of France with his mistress. You really should read about his life, bc his early life was so interesting, and he was very engaged in a many really important initiatives as the Queen’s husband.

In an interview conducted in English many years ago, he described growing up not knowing which of 5 languages was to be the lingua franca of the day. Piecing all of this together, I venture to suggest that he also spoke Danish and Greek.

To me, Prince Philip's passing represents an end to an era of our Golden Generation. Those men and women who grew up with a deep commitment to their country along with levels of loyalty, pride and work ethics just not seen often enough anymore. Doing their best every day because they know they should. I'm a proud granddaughter of an WWII US bomber pilot commander turned TB survivor turned clinical psychologist turned most giving and wonderful grandpa anyone could ask for. My grandpa was my personal hero and Prince Philip always reminded me so much of him with their seemingly commonly schools of thought. Many are mourning the loss of such a great man. My heart goes out to Queen Elizabeth and her family and all of the Commonwealth.

One day incoming enemy fighter aircraft were spotted and the klaxons went off which sent all the gunners etc. running as fast as they could go to their positions. While it was all happening, Mountbatten came over the ship’s loudspeaker system saying: relax lads, no need to rush, it’s only the Italians.
