Philip – A 90th Birthday Tribute to HRH The Duke of Edinburgh
Philip – A 90th Birthday Tribute to HRH The Duke of Edinburgh
Publications UK is privileged to present this celebratory book marking the nine decades of Prince Philip, in association with The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award and the Guards Polo Club. The book is a narration in words and pictures of His Royal Highness’s life and work; the story of a man who is truly a prince of our time, having emerged from an undefined and unstructured role into an international figure of stature in his own right – and who in his 90th year is still making a significant contribution to the institution of monarchy.
With editorial contributions from The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, Guards Polo Club and WWF, as well as an extensive chapter on Prince Philip’s life, from childhood, to naval officer, to founder, Fellow, patron, president, chairman or member of more than 800 organisations, this publication celebrates his remarkable achievements, not least his dedication to supporting The Queen, which he has maintained is his paramount duty.
Prince Edward, in a foreword to this book, says: “There is a natural temptation when an individual reaches a certain age, to reflect only on a full and varied life; in the case of my father this would be a most unwise assumption… His counsel and leadership will continue to be sought and no one should be surprised by what he will continue to contribute.”
