EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures a young Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, in 1927, during his childhood years. Born on June 10, 1921, as Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark, he was the only son of Prince Andrew of Greece and Princess Alice of Battenberg. The future consort of Queen Elizabeth II is seen here in a charming sailor suit, reflecting his early interest in the sea and naval career. At the time of this image, Philip was just six years old and living in France with his family. The young prince's connection to the sea began early, as his father was a naval officer, and his maternal grandfather, Louis Mountbatten, was a renowned admiral in the British Royal Navy. This early exposure to naval life would later influence Philip's decision to join the Royal Navy in 1939. By 1947, Prince Philip had risen through the ranks to become a lieutenant in the Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve. That year, he met and fell in love with Princess Elizabeth, who would later become Queen Elizabeth II. Their marriage took place on November 20, 1947, uniting the Greek and British royal families. This evocative image offers a glimpse into the early life of one of the most influential figures in modern British history. With his youthful charm and striking sailor suit, Prince Philip's captivating presence shines through, making this a truly enchanting addition to any collection of royal portraits.
