EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting black-and-white photograph, a young Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, is captured at the tender age of six, donning a sailor suit that perfectly encapsulates his early childhood and future connection to the sea. Born on June 10, 1921, in Corfu, Greece, Philip was the only son of Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark and Princess Alice of Battenberg. This image, taken in 1927, offers a rare glimpse into the early life of the man who would later become the consort of Queen Elizabeth II. The sailor suit, with its crisp white collar and cuffs, not only reflects the nautical theme that would come to define his adult life but also symbolizes the carefree and adventurous spirit of his youth. As a boy, Philip developed a deep love for the sea and sailing. This passion would later lead him to join the Royal Navy during World War II, where he served with distinction and rose to the rank of commander. His naval career not only prepared him for his role as consort to the future queen but also played a significant part in his enduring bond with the monarchy. This historical portrait, preserved in the archives of Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a captivating glimpse into the life of a future monarch consort, showcasing the charm and character of a young Prince Philip as he embarks on a life filled with adventure, duty, and devotion to the crown.
