EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures a young Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark, later to become the Duke of Edinburgh and the consort of Queen Elizabeth II, enjoying a sunny day at the beach with his beloved parents, Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark and Princess Alice of Greece, formerly Princess Alice of Battenberg. The image, taken around 1925, shows Prince Philip, then a little boy, happily playing in the sand with a spade, while his father looks on with a warm smile and his mother tenderly holds his hand. The family's carefree and joyful moment is a poignant reminder of their childhood and the close bond they shared. Prince Philip was born on June 10, 1921, in Corfu, Greece, and was the fifth child and only son of Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark and Princess Alice of Battenberg. His parents were part of the Greek and Danish royal families, and their union was a significant inter-European royal marriage. The family's life was marked by both joy and tragedy, as they faced numerous challenges, including exile and financial hardships. Despite the challenges, the family's love for each other shines through in this heartwarming photograph. The image offers a glimpse into their past and serves as a testament to the strength and resilience of their family ties. Today, Prince Philip is fondly remembered for his dedication to duty, his unwavering support of the Queen, and his commitment to various charitable causes. This photograph is an enduring reminder of his humble beginnings and the love and joy that shaped his childhood.
