(Chris Jackson/Pool via AP) Three of Prince Philip’s German relatives were among the small UK crowd of people who attended his funeral on Saturday, their presence due to his specific request for that side of his family to be represented despite its past Nazi connections. Two great-nephews and a cousin’s grandson were at the burial procession, held at Windsor Castle, that included just 30 people. They were Bernhard, hereditary prince of Baden, Prince Philipp of Hohenlohe-Langenburg, and Prince Donatus, landgrave of Hesse.

Who are Prince Philip s German relatives?

Topical Press Agency / Getty Images When he was a suitor for the then Princess Elizabeth, much was made of Prince Philip of Greece and Denmarkâs âforeignâ-ness. Despite growing up in England and being schooled in Scotland at Gordonstoun, Philip was still seen as an outsider in some circles, leading to the decision to naturalise him as a British citizen ahead of the Royal Wedding, removing his Greek and Danish titles. Yet as well as his Danish heritage (his family had inherited the Greek throne but were not actually Greeks), he was also German through his motherâs side, as Princess Alice of Battenberg was a Hessian Princess.
