EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming photograph, a young Prince Philip of Greece, later to become the Duke of Edinburgh, is seen enjoying a holiday at Berck Plage in France around 1925. At the age of four, the future consort of Queen Elizabeth II is shown playing on the sandy beach with his beloved nanny, Emily Roose. Dressed in a short-sleeved shirt and knickers, Philip looks intently at the camera with a serious expression, while his nanny, wearing a long-sleeved blouse and a sun hat, keeps a watchful eye on him. The idyllic setting of the French coastline provides a picturesque backdrop to this heartwarming scene of childhood innocence. The sun-soaked day at the beach seems to be a welcome respite for the young prince, who would go on to lead a remarkable life as a naval officer, husband to the monarch, and the longest-serving consort in British history. Emily Roose, who was of French and English descent, became Philip's nanny after his mother, Princess Alice of Battenberg, passed away when he was just eight years old. The bond between the young prince and his nanny is evident in this photograph, as they share a moment of joy and companionship on the shores of the English Channel. This evocative portrait offers a glimpse into the early life of Prince Philip, providing a poignant reminder of his humble beginnings and the formative influence of his nanny during his childhood.
