This souvenir publication celebrates the remarkable 99-year life of His Royal Highness Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh, Britain's longest-serving consort. Drawing on private archives as well as official records, Prince Philip 1921-2021 explores the major events in Prince Philip's life, from his birth in Corfu, his education and naval and wartime service, to his marriage to Her Majesty The Queen. It further delves into his support for the sovereign at home and abroad, his interests, and his patronage of more than 750 organisations.

With more than 150 images of His Royal Highness, this personal yet authoritative account offers a fresh look at a lifetime of achievement. The book considers the many sides of the UK's longest-serving Prince Consort on a personal level as a son, husband, and father, as a sportsman and artist, and in his role as a champion of science and industry, as well as a leader in environmental and conservation causes.
