MAGAZINE______________________________________________________________________________________This
is the story of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh - the
longest-serving consort to the longest-reigning sovereign in
British history. It is an extraordinary story, told with unique
insight and authority by an author who knew the prince for more
than forty years.Philip - elusive, complex, controversial,
challenging, often humorous, sometimes irascible - is the man
Elizabeth II once described as her 'constant strength and guide'.
Who was he? What was he really like? What is the truth about those
'gaffes' and the rumours of affairs? This is the final portrait of
an unexpected and often much-misunderstood figure. It is also the
portrait of a remarkable marriage that endured for more than
seventy years.Philip and Elizabeth were both royal by birth, both
great-great-grandchildren of Queen Victoria, but, in temperament
and upbringing, they were two very different people. The Queen's
childhood was loving and secure, the Duke's was turbulent, his
grandfather assassinated, his father arrested, his family exiled,
his parents separated when he was only ten. Elizabeth and Philip
met as cousins in the 1930s.They married in 1947, aged twenty-one
and twenty-six. Philip: The Final Portrait tells the story of two
contrasting lives, assesses the Duke of Edinburgh's character and
achievement, and explores the nature of his relationships with his
wife, his children and their families - and with the press and
public and those at court who were suspicious of him in the early
days. This is a powerful, revealing and, ultimately, moving account
of a long life and a remarkable royal partnership.
