Ludmila Krystkova It's a coronet actually, but i just loved that!

It's not a crown, but a Princely Coronet normally reserved for sons and daughters of the Sovereign. The same Coronet is also currently used by the Duke of York, the Princess Royal, and the Earl of Wessex. You will see these Coronets being worn at the next Coronation.

You are ruining my joke...

Well it's a coronet as others have said. But he wore a coronet at certain events as Duke anyways, the Prince coronet is just slightly different

The Type 2 Princely Coronet worn by Prince Philip here is four ranks higher than a ducal coronet, and consequently in design is vastly different. For the different designs of princely and peerage coronets, see here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronet

That is a fair point. There is no doubt he was treated with suspicion by the British Establishment, including King George VI. When the King conferred all the various titles on Prince Philip before his marriage in 1947, including the style 'His Royal Highness', Philip wasn't actually made a Prince of the United Kingdom. He was 'HRH Philip, Duke of Edinburgh KG'. As noted before, he had to wait until 1957 before he was finally made a Prince of the United Kingdom.

Exactly! Everyone is saying how arrogant he is or how he is acting like a man child, but Philip had endured much hardships as you said, and as a born monarch whether in Britain or not, having been married into the British Royal Family he should at least be bestowed with a title that puts him above just being branded as the Queen's husband (or course not above the Queen or their son Charles). I am sure anyone here would feel powerless or like they stand out in a useless way if they were married into a royal family but not really treated like a member of the family aside from living with them. The man just wanted to feel more like he is useful over being a useless comfort figure who must always follow The Queen everywhere.

It is worth pointing out that when Prince Philip was made a Prince of the United Kingdom, he was also given precedence over his eldest son Prince Charles, a position he still holds today.

Namikan Ye and the fact that the British Government knew he had sisters who were married to Nazis likely played a role. Sure there were those moments of his where he was acting rather immature, but in hindsight of his past it's understandable as to why he complained as much as he did. It's kind of a situation where you would need to think of yourself in his shoes growing up as a Prince who very nearly lost everything.

Namikan EXACTLY! He was more royal than Elizabeth II.

Robert Polityka This is such nonsense. No such ceremony exists. Creating a Prince is done by the Sovereign signing Letters Patent, but television needs more action than that. This is such an inaccurate series

Dude he chose to marry her.... plus look at all women have had to give up when marrying men. Boo hoo

@K41 I didnt say titles, I said look at "all that women have had to give up"

Women most certainly give things up! they give up their name. Mrs Jack Brooksbank instead of just Mrs Eugenie Brooksbank. It is always Mr and Mrs Jack Brooksbank instead of Jack and Eugenie Brooksbank. She also gave up her last name. She will always be seen as an adjunct to him instead of a person on her own right. Heck I have a husband who has had eighteen brain surgeries and is in a wheelchair but if we go in to a store or restaurant they ask him not me "how can we help you?" it is like I am not even standing there. And when I answer it is like I just grew two heads. And don't get me started on how patronizing men can be if you are pregnant. They act like you have lost IQ points just because you can grow a person inside you.

Which he did willingly.

Olivia Coleman is an absolutely terrific actor. You love her as the queen, trust me.

I understand you completely. Do you know if Matt Smith will still be playing as Prince Philip?

I believe they're replacing all of the main actors.

This is interesting, cuz Matt did it again in Ep 3 of House of the Dragon

Little does he know the queen is dead😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢❤

I know, right?!? As he looks out over the crowd, after a scant display of tender emotion from his wife, he looks over these solemn, stern and joyless people (my interpretation) with derision.

HRH Prince Philip is telling you to have sex and poop your pants. (Morbius reference) Jokes aside, I believe he's done a good job at depicting the former Duke of Edinburgh in this scene.

Ikr

Em 7 😂😂😂😂😂😂 this is hilarious 🤣

A massive oversimplification

I personally belive that the Duke of Edinbruh deserved the position as heir to the throne. Originally he would have been king of Greece if it were not for the revoltution in Greece. He was also looked down upon by other members of the Royal family as a beggar. Or a person just marrying Elizabeth for the grand titles. He deserves that crown.

🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂

It sad

he should’ve been king of Greece

He was too far back in the line of succession to ever inherit the throne of Greece.

Matt very great

What, greed and arrogance? He was a racist POS and it's good that he's no longer here.

He demanded that ceremony as a way to demand respect. When he finally got the event, he looked out and saw they had none for him. He was still just a forginer that married into the crown. To "those snobbish moustache wearing suits" he still had less power than his 8 year old son.

@@AzguardMike If the Queen ever died and Philip was just the a Duke. Duke Philip would would not be regent for his own son Charles if he was under 18 years at the time. There was a really important reason for Prince Philip to become a UK Prince so he would be head of the royal family as it gave him full powers within his own family to make decisions. By giving Philip the independence and authority within the Royal family to make decisions along side the Queen and without her. Long Term Prince Philip dominated the establishment by becoming the oldest longest serving man in the room.

Yes. Full of emotions.

Really good show

He learned that the only way to be worthy of the accoutrements is to do his duty as he swore to do.

I wonder if he ever met Meghan Markle and if he did, did he identify with her? Did they talk and compare their situations?

He was at her wedding so i would suppose so…

@@carolhutchinson7763 no. Philip was being racist towards her. You know he has Greek blood and is very old. So, it was not easy for him to accept someone outside of Europe to be in the royal family.

​@ZahidHossain-lz2td there was no racism in relation to that woman.

But all his life he was not treated according to his title. He was an exiled and poor Prince.😒 So, holding on a title with no advantage and giving them up for the upgrade is a wise decision.👌He was not simply a newly minted british prince but a consort to the Queen.😅

That's not quite right. He had to drop his titles to become a British citizen because their naturalization laws required it, even if he hadn't married into the BRF.

Russen Vela there is a point cause Now that he's the prince they have to respect him even more..they don't have a choice

tina baker yeeeeup I agree. Of course this is fiction and from the books I read, Margaret and family actually loved Philip. Especially the duchess of Kent Marina, his first cousin!

Russen Vela even in the series the queen mother and margaret seem to like him 🙂

His problem was the entourage at court, not necessarily the family, the Queen Mother was perfectly fine with Phillip, and so was Margaret - it was some of the courtiers and government people who kinda turned their noses at Phillip because even being a Duke doesn't afford the same sort of respect - by becoming Prince, he is forcing them to essentially have to listen and be beholden to him, they can no longer dismiss him, he will always have to be respected ---- if he couldn't get their respect the right way, then he will literally force it by outranking them

BetaArtemis the Queen Mother didn’t like Phillip. She was a traditionalist and Phillip wanted to go Modern and she fought him on that, especially during Elizabeth’s coronation. She ESPECIALLY fought against him when he wanted his children and the Royal House to have his name. And Phillip dreaded going to live in Buckingham Palace because the Queen Mother at the time, still lived there and the Queen Mother’s won friend told her that she believed they were trying to freeze her out after her room became cold and void of anything inside of it. They disliked each other in the early years, possibly decades.

I don't understand why a ruling King's consort is crowned Queen and given the title 'Her Majesty', while a ruling Queen's consort is not crowned and gets no title at all.

@@srccde Because most Queen regnant are afraid of getting overthrown by their husbands if they crowned them King. If you looked up to British royal history the only guy who was lucky to be handed the title King without hesitation was Philip of Spain Bloody Mary's husband.

@@mad3739 True but he was king of Spain already in his own right he was a King Regent of spain and consort of England. King king Phillip.

@@charlottemunday7311 no just because you're already King doesn't make you automatically King consort. There rules you know and they depend on the one sitting on the throne.

@@mad3739 You missed the part where i agreed with your statement which included all the info within it? Like, the first word? True. This means im *agreeing* with the statement "lucky to be handed the title king consort". Im pointing out it was probably his biggest selling point to Mary, (that and his supposedly handsome face). As Prince Albert wasn't afforded the title even though Victoria adored him but parliment said no, however a guy who is already pretty damn powerful and used to getting his own way in a time period that doesn't look kindly upon female monarchs might be able to afford him "exceptions".

PhantomPhoenix1 the guy is kneeling to her and SHE is being dominated?

Music name???

The Crown for the main theme and originally Duck Shoot :)

I think what he's saying is that the Queen is now in equally footing with the Queen.

Technically, even though created a Prince of the United Kingdom in 1958, the Prince of Wales as Heir Apparent to the Throne still outranked his father. It took the Queen to issue an Order in Council of the Privy Council to change the Order of Precedence so that Prince Philip could outrank his son.

I THOUGHT THE SAME

STAHP!!! 🤣🤣💀💀

LMAOOO 💀

Pleaseee 😭💀😭

Queen Victoria referred to Prince Albert as King Consort. Queen Mary didn't want to be placed above her Husband William of Orange due to her protestant belief that a woman must not be above that of a man under any circumstance, so the parliament arranged that they can only be co-rulers if she gave up the last of her sovereignty(I.e. Issuing royal proclaimations as law among other things), not to mention that William was a bit domineering.

Exactly he has to earn the respect Respect is not given its earned Rn he is looking like a begger who is begging for respect Cant believe how arrogant he was

@@conserztasfia0078 Do you know what her Grandmother called his family a bunch of Carpetbaggers and Parvenues, aka gypsies, despite the fact the Phillip's own mother was born in Windsor Castle, where he is now buried, and his father was the grandson of a Danish king referred as the Father of Europe royalty. Phillip was mistreated all his life, he was smuggled out of greece as an infant, when the Junta was trying to kill him and his relatives, he was bullied merciless by sons of english nobles in a boarding school in scotland for being a kid without a country. His most beloved family member, Cecile dies in an airplane crash. His mother was taken to an asylum, his father ran of with his mistress to Monaco. Phillip has a rough childhood, having a royal pedigree didn't make him arrogant, it made a tough person, he put with his own mother-in-law and the other windsors calling him Phillip the greek as a slur. He should've earned that respect for giving up his career in the navy to support his wife as Queen.

I got this random dream one night about Prince Philip asking me to become his princess and I was thinking “are you actually kidding me?” so I agreed to it and Queen Elizabeth wasn’t impressed. I knew deep down he really loved me because if he didn’t, he wouldn’t have asked me to do it

"you do know this wont change things Philip, they will never respect you now."

Rather, Prince Phillip went to Westeros after having had enough of Britain

Lol always the prince and never the king and it all seems a step down from time lord

*He became a Prince so quickly

Minute?

I mean he went from being a prince to lieutenant in the navy. He definitely do earn this

@@nicolelawless3199 ???

@@glen7318 Please forgive my sister. She ate some bad mushrooms.

Royal highness never forgotten

They couldn't make him king, because then he would be equal with Elizabeth. Of course, the Queen Mother became a queen when she married George VI, but as a spouse who would never be equal to a born king. In the case of a prince marrying a born queen, he would never be equal to her. The only exception is when Queen Mary I married King Philip of Spain, because he was already a king in his own right. But the English people resented having to recognize him as their king.

He is NOT whiny. If someone doesn't agree with something, they are NOT whiny. It's actually abusive and selfish to subject someone to a system forcing them to bury their emotions.

But now the family name has officially been changed to Mountbatten-Windsor.

If he was a direct descendant of Queen Victoria then why couldn't he be King of England?

@@carolhutchinson7763 He was a prince of Greece and Denmark. He had to renounce his foreign style,title and rank to be married into the British royal family. During WW1 (1917) King George V. made it illegal for any member of the British royal family to hold a foreign "style" (HRH -- His/her royal highness) or a foreign title or a foreign rank (military honorary or for real) Prince Philp renounced his Greek HRH, Greek title and his Greek citizenship as well as Angelizing his name to "Mountbatten" in 1947 before he married Elizabeth. He was given the British title of Duke of Edinburgh by Elizabeth's father (George vi.) the day of their wedding. In this video set in 1957 he was given the royal style of HRH as a prince of the UK. Personally, I think that should have happened back in 1947 done by King George vi before his marriage After all his mother and maternal grandmother were British Princesses. In 1917 Saxe-Coburg-Gotha -- became --> Windsor Teck -- became --> Cambridge Battenburg -- became --> Mountbatten. All Germans who had British honorary styles, titles and ranks had those revoked. Prince Phillp's 4 sisters had married Germans between WW1 and WW2 And, their husbands had become Nazis. In the 1920's when his sisters married German nobles NOBODY thought that there would be another war. The German Emperor had lost his throne. But the German nobles still had their large estates. But they were not allowed to use their titles after WW1. But they were still "of the blood" royals and nobles.

Was like a king he would have been king but would have outranked the queen

That's why he's looking like that at the end. The way they looked hasn't changed cos the view of him hasn't changed

@@catharineholton49 I don't know about anger in that moment. More frustration and embarrassment. Like the whole reason he did this was because he thought he would be treated differently by them if he did and it became apparent to him that this wasn't going to change their minds.

The Crown is a great series! Prince Phillip had a colourful life. He was rescued from Greece when he was aged 4, adopted by the British monarch since then. He fought for Britain in world war 2. Lead many speeches around the commonwealth. He became fascinated with environmentalism campaigning and modernising the way the Crown works. He also wanted to give young people the opportunity to prove themselves skillfully so he created his own award system called 'The Duke Of Edinburgh award' which aims to give teenagers an extra qualification and explore more of themselves.

danny notofconcern the Queen is only symbolicall the Head of Government, yes she can remove the prime minister and parliament but nowadays all her real power comes from approval of her people, if she does something politically her people disapprove of there is no doubt she will have no support and what little power she has left will dwindle and it could even potentially cause the monarchy to be disbanded.
