Prince Philip has died, at the age of 99 Credit: WPA/Getty At the former Greek royal palace at Tatoi, outside Athens, the family cemetery lies amid wooded slopes at the southern end of an estate that once covered 40,000 acres of pine-scented foothills of Mount Parnes. There a simple inscription adorns the tomb of Prince Philip’s father, Prince Andrew, or Andrea, of Greece: ‘ Andrea Vasilopais (son of a King) Prince of Greece Prince of Denmark 1882-1944’. The Greek royal family into which Prince Philip was born is Danish in origin. His paternal grandfather was only 17 when, in 1863, the Greek National Assembly elected him to be their king. He took the title George I; in his family, he was known as William.
