Summary
At the age of twenty-one, the future Prince Philip wrote to a
relative: 'I know you will never think much of me. I am rude and
unmannerly.' Prince Philip probably never managed to change the
opinion of his relative. In this affectionate compendium, Nigel
Cawthorne brings together many known and less well-known stories
about the prince, giving an insight into the royal world where he
'traipses around' rather than being professionally qualified in
'something'. From his constantly forthright speech making, to his
fearless mocking of official ceremonies, to his teasing of Her
Majesty herself, here is a truly rude celebration of daily life in
royal circles.
