Born Prince Philip of Denmark and Greece; the consort of Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom has often been maligned in the media for his frequent gaffes and politically incorrect comments. Yet his troubled youth, intense study and courageous actions in World War 2 marked him as a man of substance. A man's man and avid sportsman, he abandoned his promising Naval career and previous royal titles to support his wife the monarch and adopted country. Working tirelessly for the public good, he travelled extensively in his patronage of nearly 800 organisations, personally writing and delivering over 70 speeches a year in a marathon effort of public service of over 65 years. Committed to youth, environmental and sporting causes, he left a significant legacy on the many organisations and societies he passionately supported. A devoted husband and protective father, he passed away in May 2021, just short of his 100th birthday.
