What are peoples opinions on prince phillip?
Prince Philip could be titled as “King Consort” if Queen Elizabeth II wanted to, however it is still only a courtesy title. King consort is a title given in some monarchies to the husband of a queen regnant. Nowadays, it is a symbolic title only, the sole constitutional function of the holder being similar to a queen consort, namely to produce an heir to the throne. Spain, Portugal, England and Scotland have all had kings consort; however, since the rank of king normally outranks that of queen, in most monarchies the queen’s husband is given the title of prince or prince consort instead. When Prince Philip first married to then “The Princess Elizabeth”, he was only styled as “His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh.” It was only until 1957 when Philip was finally styled as “His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh”. The Queen has never granted the Prince Philip the title of Prince Consort and it was speculated that she would on their 60th anniversary, however, that did
I have met Prince Phillip and I can honestly say he is a very interesting and humorous man. He makes a real effort with people and makes them feel very relaxed around him. He has a bad time in the papers, but he just says whatever is on his mind and it’s never meant in a bad way. I think the best thing about him is that he has just endured the things that are said about him and has never hit back at the media. He has better things to care about. Yes, he’s not very PC sometimes but I thought we all hated PC and wanted to be able to say whatever we thought.
