Description

Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, was a man of contrasts - a life marked by both turmoil and stability, controversy and devotion. This is the story of his extraordinary life, told with unique insight and authority by an author who knew him for over forty years. The Duke's life was shaped by his tumultuous childhood, his grandfather's assassination, and his family's exile. Yet, he went on to form a remarkable marriage with Elizabeth, which endured for over seventy years. This book assesses the Duke's character and achievement, exploring his relationships with his wife, children, and those around him, including the press and public who often viewed him with suspicion. A powerful, revealing, and moving account of a long life and a remarkable royal partnership, Philip: The Final Portrait offers a fresh perspective on a complex and often misunderstood figure.
