Queen Elizabeth crowns Philip as a Prince of Britain. The Crown [2x3] 

That is a fair point. There is no doubt he was treated with suspicion by the British Establishment, including King George VI. When the King conferred all the various titles on Prince Philip before his marriage in 1947, including the style 'His Royal Highness', Philip wasn't actually made a Prince of the United Kingdom. He was 'HRH Philip, Duke of Edinburgh KG'. As noted before, he had to wait until 1957 before he was finally made a Prince of the United Kingdom.

Exactly! Everyone is saying how arrogant he is or how he is acting like a man child, but Philip had endured much hardships as you said, and as a born monarch whether in Britain or not, having been married into the British Royal Family he should at least be bestowed with a title that puts him above just being branded as the Queen's husband (or course not above the Queen or their son Charles). I am sure anyone here would feel powerless or like they stand out in a useless way if they were married into a royal family but not really treated like a member of the family aside from living with them. The man just wanted to feel more like he is useful over being a useless comfort figure who must always follow The Queen everywhere.

It is worth pointing out that when Prince Philip was made a Prince of the United Kingdom, he was also given precedence over his eldest son Prince Charles, a position he still holds today.

Namikan Ye and the fact that the British Government knew he had sisters who were married to Nazis likely played a role. Sure there were those moments of his where he was acting rather immature, but in hindsight of his past it's understandable as to why he complained as much as he did. It's kind of a situation where you would need to think of yourself in his shoes growing up as a Prince who very nearly lost everything.

Namikan EXACTLY! He was more royal than Elizabeth II.

Ludmila Krystkova It's a coronet actually, but i just loved that!

It's not a crown, but a Princely Coronet normally reserved for sons and daughters of the Sovereign. The same Coronet is also currently used by the Duke of York, the Princess Royal, and the Earl of Wessex. You will see these Coronets being worn at the next Coronation.

You are ruining my joke...

Well it's a coronet as others have said. But he wore a coronet at certain events as Duke anyways, the Prince coronet is just slightly different

The Type 2 Princely Coronet worn by Prince Philip here is four ranks higher than a ducal coronet, and consequently in design is vastly different. For the different designs of princely and peerage coronets, see here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronet

Robert Polityka This is such nonsense. No such ceremony exists. Creating a Prince is done by the Sovereign signing Letters Patent, but television needs more action than that. This is such an inaccurate series

Dude he chose to marry her.... plus look at all women have had to give up when marrying men. Boo hoo

@K41 I didnt say titles, I said look at "all that women have had to give up"

Women most certainly give things up! they give up their name. Mrs Jack Brooksbank instead of just Mrs Eugenie Brooksbank. It is always Mr and Mrs Jack Brooksbank instead of Jack and Eugenie Brooksbank. She also gave up her last name. She will always be seen as an adjunct to him instead of a person on her own right. Heck I have a husband who has had eighteen brain surgeries and is in a wheelchair but if we go in to a store or restaurant they ask him not me "how can we help you?" it is like I am not even standing there. And when I answer it is like I just grew two heads. And don't get me started on how patronizing men can be if you are pregnant. They act like you have lost IQ points just because you can grow a person inside you.

Which he did willingly.

@@cecy2 not just the Royal court but the English Establishment.

@@cecy2 what ideas did he have?

They ultimately did though. He's now a very respected member of the Royal Family

Yes he is :) he's like all our grandad now :)

@@joebryant8500 the writer based a lot of what is in the script on very careful research. It's been said that he did have difficulty adjusting to being the consort. I am sure though that his reactions as they are portrayed here are fictional.

Yes indeed, love them!

This is interesting, cuz Matt did it again in Ep 3 of House of the Dragon

Little does he know the queen is dead😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢❤

I know, right?!? As he looks out over the crowd, after a scant display of tender emotion from his wife, he looks over these solemn, stern and joyless people (my interpretation) with derision.

HRH Prince Philip is telling you to have sex and poop your pants. (Morbius reference) Jokes aside, I believe he's done a good job at depicting the former Duke of Edinburgh in this scene.

It sad

he should’ve been king of Greece

He was too far back in the line of succession to ever inherit the throne of Greece.

What is Aristocracy today ?

@@marioj.8221 The Monarchy was overthrown tho

Olivia Coleman is an absolutely terrific actor. You love her as the queen, trust me.

I understand you completely. Do you know if Matt Smith will still be playing as Prince Philip?

I believe they're replacing all of the main actors.

ajones363 they do💔

ajones363 What? Why?

This! All of this.

And the scene is totally fake. There is no such ceremony. Creating a Prince is just done by Letters Patent, but that wouldn't make good television.

Not historically accurate?? He's an actual prince lol

I just posted something similar, I scroll down....you are my people. Or I'm being trolled by secret services.

The ceremony never happened but the making him a prince and the struggle toward it did

@Anne tell me, what is the most awkward way you've tried to shoehorn your beliefs into a conversation? I'm just curious :) people like you always find a way to do it. I know a guy who started ranting about postmodern feminist cuckoldry because I complained about a traffic jam I got stuck in that morning. It was beautiful.

Still ppl take the male household surname unless the male is super poor and the wife is super rich and powerful, happened with a family friend once

@@jxswu3224 yes it is still common, but it is no longer considered a major scandal if a woman doesn't take her husband's surname, we've become less strict about it. At least where I live in Britain.

@@bananamanchester4156 i was meaning the kid

@@jxswu3224 oh I see. In that case, yes, it is still the social custom for the children to take the fathers surname (if the father and the mother are still together). I think we are a little less strict about this than we used to be but it hasn't quite reached the level of acceptance a woman keeping her own surname has.

Ikr

Em 7 😂😂😂😂😂😂 this is hilarious 🤣

A massive oversimplification

I personally belive that the Duke of Edinbruh deserved the position as heir to the throne. Originally he would have been king of Greece if it were not for the revoltution in Greece. He was also looked down upon by other members of the Royal family as a beggar. Or a person just marrying Elizabeth for the grand titles. He deserves that crown.

🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂

Same

We should ask prince phillip what hs thought of this scene 🎤⚰

@@davidhernandezzepeda9654 Not Funny.

This isn’t Prince Philip it’s an actor

Yes. Full of emotions.

Really good show

He’s looking at everyone like this “you can’t mess with me now” or “I can’t believe this has actually happened to me” he’s literally feeling that

Matt very great

What, greed and arrogance? He was a racist POS and it's good that he's no longer here.

He demanded that ceremony as a way to demand respect. When he finally got the event, he looked out and saw they had none for him. He was still just a forginer that married into the crown. To "those snobbish moustache wearing suits" he still had less power than his 8 year old son.

@@AzguardMike If the Queen ever died and Philip was just the a Duke. Duke Philip would would not be regent for his own son Charles if he was under 18 years at the time. There was a really important reason for Prince Philip to become a UK Prince so he would be head of the royal family as it gave him full powers within his own family to make decisions. By giving Philip the independence and authority within the Royal family to make decisions along side the Queen and without her. Long Term Prince Philip dominated the establishment by becoming the oldest longest serving man in the room.

He learned that the only way to be worthy of the accoutrements is to do his duty as he swore to do.

@@SandmanGotBeer problem was, nobody had much of an idea what they duty might be. They just needed to give him a job

@@DanBeech-ht7sw King George did.

@@SandmanGotBeer I was referring to the Duke of Edinburgh. We don't know what King George's view of the Duke of Edinburghs duty should be because a TV drama isn't a great source

Exactly. He even asked Phillip twice on that boat "She is the job. Do you understand that? Do you?"​@SandmanGotBeer

But all his life he was not treated according to his title. He was an exiled and poor Prince.😒 So, holding on a title with no advantage and giving them up for the upgrade is a wise decision.👌He was not simply a newly minted british prince but a consort to the Queen.😅

That's not quite right. He had to drop his titles to become a British citizen because their naturalization laws required it, even if he hadn't married into the BRF.

Well...Thats sad, then. Get a fucking life

Sorry, as a commoner, I can't relate.

@@ME-ru5wo well apparently that's how it was for them... 😥 must be nice, being born with a title and all that.

I don't understand why a ruling King's consort is crowned Queen and given the title 'Her Majesty', while a ruling Queen's consort is not crowned and gets no title at all.

@@srccde Because most Queen regnant are afraid of getting overthrown by their husbands if they crowned them King. If you looked up to British royal history the only guy who was lucky to be handed the title King without hesitation was Philip of Spain Bloody Mary's husband.

@@mad3739 True but he was king of Spain already in his own right he was a King Regent of spain and consort of England. King king Phillip.

@@charlottemunday7311 no just because you're already King doesn't make you automatically King consort. There rules you know and they depend on the one sitting on the throne.

@@mad3739 You missed the part where i agreed with your statement which included all the info within it? Like, the first word? True. This means im *agreeing* with the statement "lucky to be handed the title king consort". Im pointing out it was probably his biggest selling point to Mary, (that and his supposedly handsome face). As Prince Albert wasn't afforded the title even though Victoria adored him but parliment said no, however a guy who is already pretty damn powerful and used to getting his own way in a time period that doesn't look kindly upon female monarchs might be able to afford him "exceptions".

I wonder if he ever met Meghan Markle and if he did, did he identify with her? Did they talk and compare their situations?

He was at her wedding so i would suppose so…

@@carolhutchinson7763 no. Philip was being racist towards her. You know he has Greek blood and is very old. So, it was not easy for him to accept someone outside of Europe to be in the royal family.

​@ZahidHossain-lz2td there was no racism in relation to that woman.

@@ZahidHossain-lz2td *Philip was not being racist* towards Meghan Markle *His objection was to her* *profession* (actress, entertainer) *as unsuitable for the wife of* *a royal prince of the UK.* ALSO: *M15 or M16 might have had* *a dossier on her other non-* *acting activities on yachts* *and at the SoHo House clubs* TRUTH: we do not know.

The Crown for the main theme and originally Duck Shoot :)

I think what he's saying is that the Queen is now in equally footing with the Queen.

Technically, even though created a Prince of the United Kingdom in 1958, the Prince of Wales as Heir Apparent to the Throne still outranked his father. It took the Queen to issue an Order in Council of the Privy Council to change the Order of Precedence so that Prince Philip could outrank his son.

Russen Vela there is a point cause Now that he's the prince they have to respect him even more..they don't have a choice

tina baker yeeeeup I agree. Of course this is fiction and from the books I read, Margaret and family actually loved Philip. Especially the duchess of Kent Marina, his first cousin!

Russen Vela even in the series the queen mother and margaret seem to like him 🙂

His problem was the entourage at court, not necessarily the family, the Queen Mother was perfectly fine with Phillip, and so was Margaret - it was some of the courtiers and government people who kinda turned their noses at Phillip because even being a Duke doesn't afford the same sort of respect - by becoming Prince, he is forcing them to essentially have to listen and be beholden to him, they can no longer dismiss him, he will always have to be respected ---- if he couldn't get their respect the right way, then he will literally force it by outranking them

BetaArtemis the Queen Mother didn’t like Phillip. She was a traditionalist and Phillip wanted to go Modern and she fought him on that, especially during Elizabeth’s coronation. She ESPECIALLY fought against him when he wanted his children and the Royal House to have his name. And Phillip dreaded going to live in Buckingham Palace because the Queen Mother at the time, still lived there and the Queen Mother’s won friend told her that she believed they were trying to freeze her out after her room became cold and void of anything inside of it. They disliked each other in the early years, possibly decades.

Yeah, I agree

All Children should have the surnames of both their mother and father

He chose to marry the queen numbnuts

Anne signed her marriage register as "Mountbatten-Windsor". Not sure how the other three signed.

Yeah he was a pure blood, Elizabeth didn't have that level of royal bloodline...but they were cousins just maybe thats why she so pissed

xxDrain 😅

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

HAHAHAHAHA

Fuck you mate 🤣🤣🤣😂😂

Queen Victoria referred to Prince Albert as King Consort. Queen Mary didn't want to be placed above her Husband William of Orange due to her protestant belief that a woman must not be above that of a man under any circumstance, so the parliament arranged that they can only be co-rulers if she gave up the last of her sovereignty(I.e. Issuing royal proclaimations as law among other things), not to mention that William was a bit domineering.

Exactly he has to earn the respect Respect is not given its earned Rn he is looking like a begger who is begging for respect Cant believe how arrogant he was

@@conserztasfia0078 Do you know what her Grandmother called his family a bunch of Carpetbaggers and Parvenues, aka gypsies, despite the fact the Phillip's own mother was born in Windsor Castle, where he is now buried, and his father was the grandson of a Danish king referred as the Father of Europe royalty. Phillip was mistreated all his life, he was smuggled out of greece as an infant, when the Junta was trying to kill him and his relatives, he was bullied merciless by sons of english nobles in a boarding school in scotland for being a kid without a country. His most beloved family member, Cecile dies in an airplane crash. His mother was taken to an asylum, his father ran of with his mistress to Monaco. Phillip has a rough childhood, having a royal pedigree didn't make him arrogant, it made a tough person, he put with his own mother-in-law and the other windsors calling him Phillip the greek as a slur. He should've earned that respect for giving up his career in the navy to support his wife as Queen.

I got this random dream one night about Prince Philip asking me to become his princess and I was thinking “are you actually kidding me?” so I agreed to it and Queen Elizabeth wasn’t impressed. I knew deep down he really loved me because if he didn’t, he wouldn’t have asked me to do it

Right, like "in ya face suckas" very undignified for the peerage that little shake. I love the portray by Matt.

TransLorentz nerves...but on another note are you with CSI MIAMI? how did you catch that 😂

Yea..that was really cool..but I think Matt has this natural instinct to do that..I have seen him doing like that in many of his interviews.

Lol weirdo 🤣

STAHP!!! 🤣🤣💀💀

Minute?

I mean he went from being a prince to lieutenant in the navy. He definitely do earn this

Royal highness never forgotten

They couldn't make him king, because then he would be equal with Elizabeth. Of course, the Queen Mother became a queen when she married George VI, but as a spouse who would never be equal to a born king. In the case of a prince marrying a born queen, he would never be equal to her. The only exception is when Queen Mary I married King Philip of Spain, because he was already a king in his own right. But the English people resented having to recognize him as their king.

@@rachelgreen4510 That's ridiculous. By the way, he did not give up his home. He was in the Navy and essentially homeless.

But now the family name has officially been changed to Mountbatten-Windsor.

If he was a direct descendant of Queen Victoria then why couldn't he be King of England?

@@carolhutchinson7763 He was a prince of Greece and Denmark. He had to renounce his foreign style,title and rank to be married into the British royal family. During WW1 (1917) King George V. made it illegal for any member of the British royal family to hold a foreign "style" (HRH -- His/her royal highness) or a foreign title or a foreign rank (military honorary or for real) Prince Philp renounced his Greek HRH, Greek title and his Greek citizenship as well as Angelizing his name to "Mountbatten" in 1947 before he married Elizabeth. He was given the British title of Duke of Edinburgh by Elizabeth's father (George vi.) the day of their wedding. In this video set in 1957 he was given the royal style of HRH as a prince of the UK. Personally, I think that should have happened back in 1947 done by King George vi before his marriage After all his mother and maternal grandmother were British Princesses. In 1917 Saxe-Coburg-Gotha -- became --> Windsor Teck -- became --> Cambridge Battenburg -- became --> Mountbatten. All Germans who had British honorary styles, titles and ranks had those revoked. Prince Phillp's 4 sisters had married Germans between WW1 and WW2 And, their husbands had become Nazis. In the 1920's when his sisters married German nobles NOBODY thought that there would be another war. The German Emperor had lost his throne. But the German nobles still had their large estates. But they were not allowed to use their titles after WW1. But they were still "of the blood" royals and nobles.

You do realise that this particular ceremony never took place?

Was like a king he would have been king but would have outranked the queen

That's why he's looking like that at the end. The way they looked hasn't changed cos the view of him hasn't changed

I think their attitude was one of distain and his was anger and some embarrassment.

​@@catharineholton49 I would say anger but not embarrassment, more like resentment against the system and people in it that humiliate him any chance they got and now they have to deal with him getting his revenge and justice.

And they are looking back as if to say.."Oh, yeah, sure, we really really REALLY respect you. What time is lunch?"

@@catharineholton49 I don't know about anger in that moment. More frustration and embarrassment. Like the whole reason he did this was because he thought he would be treated differently by them if he did and it became apparent to him that this wasn't going to change their minds.

Not really, there's honestly next to no political intrigue besides the complications with royal protocols since the crown has no real power. Also, no violence or danger of any kind so this really is a show of its own kind.

There’s a little bit of sex in the second season

Who told you the British crown has no power? If the Queen doesn't like the Prime Minister she could remove said Prime Minister. The Queen is the head of the Government of Great Britain and it's other commonwealths like Canada.

danny notofconcern she’s not head of government she’s head of stare. The prime minister is head of government.

danny notofconcern the Queen is only symbolicall the Head of Government, yes she can remove the prime minister and parliament but nowadays all her real power comes from approval of her people, if she does something politically her people disapprove of there is no doubt she will have no support and what little power she has left will dwindle and it could even potentially cause the monarchy to be disbanded.
