Thanks to “The Crown” on Netflix – where His now late Royal Highness was portrayed by Matt Smith – many more people are already familiar with Prince Phillip’s background as well as military career. In short, HRH descended from the royal families of Denmark and Greece, which was deposed in the latter. His mother was a German princess, while all four of his sisters wed German Princes and Dukes.
