Although he was married to possibly the most famous woman in the world, Prince Philip's origins were shrouded in obscurity. In this first book to focus exclusively on Philip's life before his marriage to the future Elizabeth II, the biographer Philip Eade recounts the prince's extraordinary upbringing in Greece, France, Nazi Germany and Britain, where he inhabited a colourful milieu yet was beset by continual turbulence and a succession of family tragedies.
