Prince Philip's century

As a baby, he was rescued in an orange crate from Greece, which was sinking into anarchy. As a child, he had to deal with his mother's mental illness and the tragic death of his older sister. As a young sailor, he risked his life in the Second World War, and then in World War II. As Elizabeth's husband, he served the British monarchy for 73 years and became the queen's unshakable support. Prince Philip, who died in 2021 at the age of 100, had an impressive career, and his unsought honesty, bold initiatives and devoted philanthropy set him far apart from the aristocracy. Writer-journalist Robert Jobson, who has covered the life of the British royal family for more than three decades, presents this extraordinary life and person. In his book, which is based on in-depth research, personal experiences and first-hand accounts, he reveals how the dedicated soldier became Queen Elizabeth's steadfast companion and, if necessary, her advisor hiding in the background for nearly 75 years, and how he modernized the British monarchy. Prince Philip's extraordinary life is an example of loyalty and perseverance for all of us.
