DUKE: 100 CHAPTERS IN THE LIFE OF PRINCE PHILIP

The Archbishop of Canterbury called him ‘bloody rude’; courtiers feared he was ‘a foreign interloper out for the goodies’; daughter-in-law Sarah Ferguson found him ‘very frightening’; and the Queen Mother labelled him ‘the Hun’. This book sets out to explore the man behind the myths, drawing on interviews with relations, friends and courtiers and the Duke's own words. It also explains why for over seven decades he has been the Queen's ‘strength and stay’ - and why he is regarded by many as a national treasure.
