Screen Portrays Dukes Life - The Actor
The Duke of Edinburgh (standing, second from right), dressed for a role in Macbeth when he was 14 and a pupil at Gordonstoun public school on the east coast of Scotland. This is a scene from " Prince Philip", a biographical film on the life of the Duke which will be shown in London today for the first time. Veteran producer Howard Thomas, who made the colour Coronation film " Elizabeth is Queen", spent a year sorting through thousands of feet of film touching on the Dukes activities. The half hour documentary opens with the Royal Wedding Day in 1947; goes back to the Dukes schooldays and ends with the Coronation.
