I dont understand why people would have problems with that....Europe royalty have been marrying each other since the beginning .. Czar Nicholas II(Russian Ruler) cousin was King George V ..Empress Alexandra was the granddaughter of Queen Victoria ..Elizabeth got to marry who she loved ...happy for her
That's an interesting historical little tidbit, thanks for sharing this, it was good to know some more history on his mother. Quite interesting indeed. Thank you :)
Actually they say here that he was 18. And that's how I've always heard it, I've seen quite a few specials on them and I've always heard she was 13 and he was 18.
Sounds to me like another conspiracy theory. They met, she fell inlove and 70 years later nothing has changed. It didn't take Mountbatten to arrange THAT.
Why don't they just tell the truth. Phillip's mother suffered from schizophrenia. Instead of seeking the very best possible treatment available for her, they "hid" her away in a sanatorium to receive "quackery" treatments for 2.5 years. She was abandoned by her playboy husband Prince Andrew, who went to live on the French Riviera with his mistress.
Granted there was a war going on, but I am amused by the ambivalence (on the part of the Royal Family) toward the Duke of Edinburgh's German connections. Did the King forget about the fact that his own parents were German royals (House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha & Wuttemburg repsectively) by birth?
I don't think Harry or Wills look anything like Phillip at all. To me, they look primarily like Princess Diana with a twinge of Queen Elizabeth. Thank God they don't look anything like Charles!!
from what ive read i dont remember where it said that Philip is Queen Elizabeths 3rd cousin twice removed? whose side would he be related on her mothers or King George's family line
i´m praying to the soul of my mother, father, Queen Victoria, Queen Albert send his light to help your highness your Majesty the Queen and King....go work and God path....
It would depend upon the number of generations removed the two of you are related. In Elizabeth II and Phillips case, they saw nothing wrong with them being wedded as they were not considered "immediate" relations but at least 2 generations apart & at opposite ends of the spectrum. :-)
my admiration , consideration and respect to the best Queen and King in world: Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip....GOD send his hand to help your royal work...
when theres so much history of the same kind before and now, why is there no understanding from the monarchy ? why to lead Charles to the sweet Diana ? If Camilla was to enter household, why couldnt Lady Di marry Dodi ?
She didn't let her sister marry the man she loved, either. I guess she learned something from the Diana disaster, because she didn't mess with William and Kate.
Highnesses Queen Elizabeth and King Philip i´m praying also to Sta Margaret of Scotland, Sta Alexandra and St Nicolae of Russian - i ask miraclaes highnesses want came true fast....blesses
Oh please this sorry excuse for a man has laid with everybody .He passed the gene down to Charles and now William has a long time lover while precious Kate drops babies ugghh
Thank you for posting. What a beautiful love story, truly soul mates. God bless them for many more years to come.
Damn... Philip was rather dashing in his day!
one can only hope Queen Elizabeth 2 lives as long as her mother, her mother lived to the age of 101 Long live her Majesty QE2
What a remarkable couple they are! Thank you very much for sharing this documentary!
They were distant enough that it was ok. It's happened here in the US as well. Franklin and Elinor Roosevelt were cousins as well.
The queen was such a beautiful teenager!

All dads are shocked when they first realize their daughters have desires.
So true 😆
Thanks for sharing and the history involved.
The Duke of Edinburgh and The Queen are both great-great-grandchildren of Queen Victoria.

Phillip was sucha dashing man
There is a difference between family and extended family.

Young Phillip looks just like Prince Harry.
*Prince Harry looks like Prince Phillip.

Actually they have been married for 72 years
I've noticed this, too, particularly at the end of the second part of this.
Oh please, you think Phillip didn't have his share of mistresses?
i´m praying to the soul of my mother, father, Queen Victoria, Queen Albert send his light to help your highness your Majesty the Queen and King....go work and God path....
great to be british
@mrlopez2681 I am unaware of there being a problem, perhaps it is a formatting issue.
