	Prince Philip
		The fact remains just the same that Philip depends for all he is and all he has on the say-so of his late father- in- law, King George VI and after him his wife Queen Elizabeth II and her advisers.
		It is also true, though, that Philip who was plain Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten RN at the time of his engagement, had to be polished up royal if he was going to be a suitable husband for a future reigning Queen.
		Yet Philip, always a believer in sticking his neck out, has upset many people, including courtiers whom he sought to shift from their out-of-date ways and politicians who have often felt he was skirting their own jealously- guarded preserves.

		Although research has shown that Mountbatten was not directly responsible for that costly debacle, he told a news conference soon after that it was his fault.

	Great Britain's Uncle Dickie Mountbatten - TIME
		Louis Mountbatten himself--and how he loved it all--was wealthy, flashingly handsome, a polo-playing friend of rajas and movie stars, a somewhat too fearless naval commander, an unsubtle, decent, enormously energetic man, grand if not great, whose immense, childish vanity was only just outweighed by his good sense and charm.
		His research was authorized by the Mountbatten family, but in this case, he says, the term does not mean that the book was distorted to fit the demands of the survivors.
		Mountbatten, his second son (the family name was anglicized in 1917 at the direction of King George V), never forgot the injustice, and counted his own posting as First Sea Lord in 1954 as a vindication of his father.

	Prince Philip biography
		The Prince Philip who returned to Britain at the start of 1946 was a markedly different young man to the one who had left her shores six years earlier to serve in the Royal Navy.
		From the outset of his marriage, Philip was intent on proving that his commitment to a more modern and “in touch” Monarchy was every inch the equal to that of his new bride.
		Although Philip was delighted to return to his vocation, his joy was inevitably mitigated by the knowledge that as a new husband, his duty to his wife would have to co-exist with and perhaps even eclipse his duty to the Navy.
