From kneeling before Queen Elizabeth, to having set up a battle so his children could bear his last name, He had faced many difficulties in his marital life.
According to the royal expert Jenny Bonds in Channel 5 documentary Before they were royal, Once, he was fiercely deprived of a major royal title following a terrible disagreement with the ruler over their children’s names.
“There was a big row about it but Philip lost the argument and the Queen’s decreed that her children would be part of the House of Windsor.
“But during the row he said, ‘what kind of a man am I? I’m just a bloody amoeba’. It was very, very hurtful to him.”
Royal commentator Dr Kate Williams added, “I think he really felt that if he gave up his title, his religion, his name, his nationality then the actual reward would be that he got to be Philip, the house of Mountbatten.”
