Description
"'A fascinating account of Prince Philip as seen from every conceivable angle. Ian Lloyd demonstrates that there is much we didn't know about this much-loved -- and at times controversial -- royal consort' Majesty magazine The Archbishop of Canterbury called him "˜bloody rude', courtiers feared he was "˜a foreign interloper out for the goodies', daughter-in-law Sarah Ferguson found him "˜very frightening' and the Queen Mother labelled him 'the Hun'. Journalists have continually portrayed him as a gaffe-prone serial philanderer, with European outlets going way off-piste and claiming he has fathered 24 illegitimate children and even had a fling with a former French president. Prince Philip says "˜the impression the public has got is unfair', though he doesn't go to great lengths to defend himself. There is no self-serving autobiography and his interviews with broadcasters or writers are done grudgingly. The Duke sets out to explore the man behind the various myths, drawing on interviews with relations, friends and courtiers, as well as Prince Philip's own words. Ian Lloyd brings to life some rare aspects of his character, from a love of poetry and religion to his fondness for Duke Ellington and his fascination with UFOs. Lloyd also explains why for over seven decades the Duke of Edinburgh has been the Queen's "˜strength and stay' -- and why he is regarded by many as a national treasure."--,Provided by Freading.
