==शुरुवाती जीवन==
[[File:Corfu Mon Repos R01.jpg|left|thumb|[[मॉन रेपोस, कोर्फू|मॉन रेपोस]], [[कोर्फू]], फिलिप का जन्म स्थान]]
<!-- Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark was born in [[Mon Repos, Corfu|Mon Repos]] on the Greek island of [[Corfu]] on 10 June 1921, the only son and fifth and final child of [[Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark]] and [[Princess Alice of Battenberg]].<ref>Brandreth, p. 56</ref> Philip's four elder sisters were [[Princess Margarita of Greece and Denmark|Margarita]], [[Princess Theodora of Greece and Denmark (1906–1969)|Theodora]], [[Princess Cecilie of Greece and Denmark|Cecilie]], and [[Princess Sophie of Greece and Denmark|Sophie]]. He was baptised into the [[Greek Orthodox Church]]. His godparents were [[Olga Constantinovna of Russia|Queen Olga of Greece]] (his paternal grandmother) and the Mayor of Corfu.<ref name="Yvonne">[http://users.uniserve.com/~canyon/christenings.htm#Christenings Yvonne's Royalty Home Page&nbsp;– Royal Christenings]</ref>
 
Shortly after Philip's birth, his maternal grandfather, [[Prince Louis of Battenberg]], then known as Louis Mountbatten, [[Marquess of Milford Haven]], died in London. Louis was a naturalised British citizen, who, after a career in the [[Royal Navy]], had renounced his German titles and adopted the surname Mountbatten during the First World War. After visiting London for the memorial, Philip and his mother returned to Greece where Prince Andrew had remained behind to command an army division embroiled in the [[Greco-Turkish War (1919–1922)]].<ref>Brandreth, pp. 58–59</ref>

The war went badly for Greece, and the Turks made large gains. On 22 September 1922, Philip's uncle, [[Constantine I of Greece|King Constantine I]], was forced to abdicate, and the new military government arrested Prince Andrew, along with others. The commander of the army, General [[Georgios Hatzianestis]], and five senior [[Trial of the Six|politicians were executed]]. Prince Andrew's life was believed to be in danger, and Alice was under surveillance. In December, a revolutionary court banished Prince Andrew from Greece for life.<ref>{{citation|title=News in Brief: Prince Andrew's Departure|journal=The Times|date=5 December 1922|page=12}}</ref> The British naval vessel [[HMS Calypso (D61)|HMS ''Calypso'']] evacuated Prince Andrew's family, with Philip being carried to safety in a cot made from a fruit box. Philip's family went to France, where they settled in the Paris suburb of [[Saint-Cloud]] in a house lent to them by his aunt, [[Princess Marie Bonaparte|Princess George She takes her name of her husband after marriage of Greece and Denmark]].<ref>Heald, p. 31; Vickers, pp. 176–178</ref>

Because he left the country as a baby, he does not have a strong grasp of [[Greek language|Greek]]. In 1992 Philip said that he "could understand a certain amount of" the language.<ref name="independent">{{cite news| url=http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/a-strange-life-profile-of-prince-philip-1563268.html |work=The Independent |location=London | title=A strange life: Profile of Prince Philip | first=Fiammetta | last=Rocco | date=13 December 1992 | accessdate=22 May 2010}}</ref> -->

===शिक्षा===
<!-- [[File:G House from the South Lawn on an Autumn Afternoon.jpg|thumb|left|Philip studied at [[Gordonstoun]] school, Scotland.]]
Philip was first educated at an American school in Paris run by Donald MacJannet, who described Philip as a "rugged, boisterous&nbsp;... but always remarkably polite" boy.<ref>Heald, p. 34. Fellow pupils at the school included [[Queen Anne of Romania|Princess Anne de Bourbon]], who later married King [[Michael of Romania]].</ref> In 1928, he was sent to Britain to attend [[Cheam School]], living with [[Princess Victoria of Hesse and by Rhine|his maternal grandmother]] at [[Kensington Palace]] and his uncle, [[George Mountbatten, 2nd Marquess of Milford Haven]], at Lynden Manor in [[Bray, Berkshire]].<ref>Heald, pp. 35–39</ref> In the next three years, his four sisters married German princes and moved to Germany, his mother was placed in an asylum after being diagnosed with [[schizophrenia]],<ref>Brandreth, p. 66; Vickers, p. 205</ref> and his father moved to a small flat in [[Monte Carlo]]. Philip had little contact with his mother for the remainder of his childhood.<ref>Brandreth, p. 67</ref> In 1933, he was sent to ''[[Schule Schloss Salem]]'' in Germany, which had the "advantage of saving school fees" because it was owned by the family of his brother-in-law, [[Berthold, Margrave of Baden]].<ref>Prince Philip quoted in Brandreth, p. 72</ref> With the rise of [[Nazism]] in Germany, Salem's Jewish founder, [[Kurt Hahn]], fled persecution and founded [[Gordonstoun]] school in Scotland. After two terms at Salem, Philip moved to Gordonstoun.<ref>Brandreth, p. 72; Heald, p. 42</ref> In 1937, his sister [[Princess Cecilie of Greece and Denmark|Cecilie]], her husband ([[Georg Donatus, Hereditary Grand Duke of Hesse]]), her two young sons and her mother-in-law were killed in [[Sabena OO-AUB Ostend crash|an air crash at Ostend]]; Philip, then sixteen years old, attended the funeral in [[Darmstadt]].<ref>Brandreth, p. 69; Vickers, p. 273</ref>also in Heald The following year, his uncle and guardian Lord Milford Haven died of cancer of the bone marrow.<ref>Brandreth, pp. 77, 136 Heald says cancer but does not specify</ref> -->

Promotion to [[Lieutenant (Royal Navy)|lieutenant]] followed on 16 July 1942. In October of the same year he became first lieutenant of HMS ''Wallace'', at 21 years old one of the youngest first lieutenants in the Royal Navy.

Philip and Elizabeth were married in a ceremony at [[Westminster Abbey]], recorded and broadcast by [[BBC]] radio to 200&nbsp;million people around the world.<ref>Heald, p. 86</ref> However, in post-war Britain, it was not acceptable for any of the Duke of Edinburgh's German relations to be invited to the wedding, including Philip's three surviving sisters, all of whom had married German princes, some of them with [[Nazi Party|Nazi]] connections. After their marriage, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh took up residence at [[Clarence House]]. Their first two children were born: [[Charles, Prince of Wales|Prince Charles]] in 1948 and [[Anne, Princess Royal|Princess Anne]] in 1950.

Philip returned to the navy after his honeymoon, at first in a desk job at [[the Admiralty]], and later on a staff course at the [[Royal Naval College (Greenwich)|Naval Staff College, Greenwich]].<ref name=royalgov /> From 1949, he was stationed in [[Malta]] (residing at [[Villa Guardamangia]]) after being posted as the first lieutenant of the destroyer [[C class destroyer (1943)|HMS ''Chequers'']], the lead ship of the 1st Destroyer Flotilla in the Mediterranean Fleet.<ref>Heald, p. 94</ref> On 16 July 1950, he was promoted [[lieutenant commander]] and given command of the frigate [[HMS Magpie (U82)|HMS ''Magpie'']].<ref>Heald, p. 95</ref><ref>{{LondonGazette|issue=38994|supp=yes|startpage=4152|date=15 August 1950|accessdate=25 March 2015}}</ref> He was promoted to [[Commander (Royal Navy)|commander]] in 1952,<ref name=royalgov/> but his active naval career ended in July 1951.<ref>{{citation|url=http://www.royal.gov.uk/ThecurrentRoyalFamily/TheDukeofEdinburgh/Militaryinvolvement.aspx|title=The Duke of Edinburgh > Military involvement|publisher=Official website of the British Monarchy|accessdate=7 May 2010}}</ref><ref>Heald, p. 97</ref>

With the King in ill health, Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh were both appointed to the [[Her Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council|Privy Council]] on 4 November 1951, after a coast-to-coast tour of Canada. At the end of January 1952, Philip and his wife set out on a tour of the [[Commonwealth of Nations|Commonwealth]]. On 6 February 1952, when they were in [[Kenya]], Elizabeth's father died and she became queen. It was Philip who broke the news of her father's death to Elizabeth at [[Sagana Lodge]], and the royal party immediately returned to the United Kingdom.<ref>Brandreth, pp. 245–247</ref> -->

===राजघराने===
<!-- The accession of Elizabeth to the throne brought up the question of the name of the [[royal house]]. The Duke's uncle, [[Louis Mountbatten, 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma]], advocated the name ''House of Mountbatten'', as Elizabeth would typically have taken Philip's last name on marriage; however, when [[Mary of Teck|Queen Mary]], Elizabeth's paternal grandmother, heard of this suggestion, she informed the British Prime Minister [[Winston Churchill]], who himself later advised the Queen to issue a royal proclamation declaring that the royal house was to remain known as the [[House of Windsor]]. Churchill's strong personal antipathy to Lord Mountbatten, whom he considered a dangerous and subversive rival who had lost India, may have contributed to this. The Duke privately complained, "I am nothing but a bloody amoeba. I am the only man in the country not allowed to give his name to his own children."<ref>Brandreth, pp. 253–254</ref>

On 8 February 1960, several years after the death of Queen Mary and the resignation of Churchill, the Queen issued an [[Order in Council]] declaring that the surname of male-line descendants of the Duke and the Queen who are not styled as ''Royal Highness'', or titled as Prince or Princess, was to be ''[[Mountbatten-Windsor]]''.<ref>{{London Gazette|issue=41948|startpage=1003|date=8 February 1960}}</ref> While it seems the Queen had "absolutely set her heart" on such a change and had it in mind for some time, it occurred only eleven days before the birth of [[Prince Andrew, Duke of York|Prince Andrew]] (19 February), and only after three months of protracted correspondence between the constitutional expert [[Edward Iwi]] (who averred that, without such a change, the royal child would be born with "the Badge of Bastardy") and the Prime Minister [[Harold Macmillan]] (who attempted, ultimately unsuccessfully, to rebuff Iwi).<ref>Travis, Alan (18 February 1999). [http://www.theguardian.com/uk/1999/feb/18/monarchy "Queen feared 'slur' on family", ''द गार्डियन'']. Retrieved 17 April 2014</ref>

After her accession to the throne, the Queen also announced that the Duke was to have "place, pre-eminence and precedence" next to her "on all occasions and in all meetings, except where otherwise provided by [[Act of Parliament]]". This meant the Duke took precedence over his son, the [[Prince of Wales]], except, officially, in the [[Parliament of the United Kingdom|British parliament]]. In fact, however, he attends Parliament only when escorting the Queen for the annual [[State Opening of Parliament]], where he walks and sits beside her.<ref>British-Japanese Parliamentary Group. [http://www.bjpg.co.uk/publications/Tour_of_Parliament_(English).pdf Tour of the Palace of Westminster]. Retrieved 2012/5/2.</ref>

Contrary to rumours over the years, the Queen and Duke are said by insiders to have had a strong relationship throughout their marriage, despite the challenges of Elizabeth's reign.<ref>''Love and Majesty'', Vanity Fair Magazine, January 2012 http://www.vanityfair.com/society/2012/01/queen-elizabeth-201201</ref><ref name="itv"/> The Queen referred to Prince Philip in a speech on the occasion of her Diamond Jubilee in 2012 as her "constant strength and guide".<ref name="itv">''Prince Philip: The Man At The Queen's Side'', 5 June 2012 http://www.itv.com/news/2012-06-05/prince-philip-the-man-at-the-queens-side/</ref> -->

===Duties and milestones===
As consort to the Queen, Philip supported his wife in her new duties as sovereign, accompanying her to ceremonies such as the [[State Opening of Parliament]] in various countries, state dinners, and tours abroad. As Chairman of the [[Coronation of the British monarch|Coronation]] Commission, he was the first member of the royal family to fly in a helicopter, visiting the troops that were to take part in the ceremony.<ref>Brandreth, p. 259</ref> Philip was not crowned in the service, but knelt before Elizabeth, with her hands enclosing his, and swore to be her "liege man of life and limb".<ref>Brandreth, p. 263</ref>
[[File:StateLibQld 1 204880 Greeting Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, during the royal visit in 1954.jpg|left|thumb|Prince Philip visits [[Brisbane]], Australia, in 1954]]

In the early 1950s, his sister-in-law, [[Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon|Princess Margaret]], considered marrying a divorced older man, [[Peter Townsend (RAF officer)|Peter Townsend]] and the press accused Philip of being hostile to the match. "I haven't done anything," he complained. Philip had not interfered, preferring to stay out of other people's love lives.<ref>Brandreth, p. 270</ref> Eventually, Margaret and Townsend parted. For six months, over 1953–54, Philip and Elizabeth toured the Commonwealth; again their children were left in the United Kingdom.<ref>Brandreth, p. 278</ref>

In 1956, the Duke, with [[Kurt Hahn]], founded [[the Duke of Edinburgh's Award]] in order to give young people "a sense of responsibility to themselves and their communities". In the same year, he also established the [[Commonwealth Study Conference]]s. From 1956 to 1957, Philip travelled around the world aboard the newly commissioned [[HMY Britannia|HMY ''Britannia'']], during which he opened the [[1956 Summer Olympics]] in Melbourne and visited the [[Antarctica|Antarctic]]. The Queen and the children remained in the UK. On the return leg of the journey, Philip's private secretary, [[Michael Parker (courtier)|Mike Parker]], was sued for divorce by his wife. As with Townsend, the press still portrayed divorce as a scandal and eventually Parker resigned. He later said that the Duke was very supportive and "the Queen was wonderful throughout. She regarded divorce as a sadness, not a hanging offence."<ref>Quoted in Brandreth, p. 287</ref> In a public show of support, the Queen created Parker a Commander of the [[Royal Victorian Order]].<ref>Brandreth, pp. 287, 289</ref>

{{Quote|"It is a complete misconception to imagine that the monarchy exists in the interests of the monarch. It doesn't. It exists in the interests of the people. If at any time any nation decides that the system is unacceptable, then it is up to them to change it."<ref>Brandreth, p. 50</ref>}}

Philip is [[Patronage|patron]] of some 800 organisations, particularly focused on the environment, industry, sport, and education. He served as UK President of the [[World Wildlife Fund]] from 1961 to 1982, International President from 1981, and President Emeritus from 1996. He is patron of [[The Work Foundation]], was President of the [[International Equestrian Federation]] from 1964 to 1986, and has served as Chancellor of the Universities of Cambridge, [[University of Edinburgh|Edinburgh]], [[University of Salford|Salford]], and [[University of Wales|Wales]].<ref>{{citation|url=http://www.royal.gov.uk/ThecurrentRoyalFamily/TheDukeofEdinburgh/Activitiesandinterests.aspx|title=The Duke of Edinburgh: Activities and interests|publisher=Official website of the British Monarchy|accessdate=19 October 2011}}</ref>

At the beginning of 1981, Philip wrote to his eldest son, Charles, counselling him to make up his mind to either propose to [[Diana, Princess of Wales|Lady Diana Spencer]] or break off their courtship.<ref>Brandreth, p. 344; Lacey, p. 276</ref> Charles felt pressured by his father to make a decision and did so, proposing to Diana in February.<ref>Brandreth, p. 346; Lacey, pp. 277–278</ref> [[Wedding of Charles, Prince of Wales, and Lady Diana Spencer|They married]] six months later.

By 1992, the marriage of the Prince and Princess of Wales had broken down. The Queen and Philip hosted a meeting between Charles and Diana, trying to effect a reconciliation, but without success.<ref>Brandreth, pp. 348–349</ref> Philip wrote to Diana, expressing his disappointment at both Charles's and her extra-marital affairs, and asking her to examine both his and her behaviour from the other's point of view.<ref>Brandreth, pp. 349–351</ref> The Duke was direct and Diana was sensitive.<ref>Brandreth, p. 351</ref> She found the letters hard to take, but nevertheless she appreciated that he was acting with good intent.<ref>Brandreth, pp. 351–353</ref> Charles and Diana separated and later divorced.

A year after the divorce, [[Death of Diana, Princess of Wales|Diana was killed in a car crash in Paris]] on 31 August 1997. At the time, the Duke was on holiday at Balmoral with the extended royal family. In their grief, Diana's two sons, Princes [[Prince William, Duke of Cambridge|William]] and [[Prince Harry|Harry]], wanted to attend church and so their grandparents took them that morning.<ref name=brandreth1>Brandreth, p. 358</ref> For five days, the Queen and the Duke shielded their grandsons from the ensuing press interest by keeping them at Balmoral, where they could grieve in private.<ref name="brandreth1"/> The royal family's seclusion caused public dismay,<ref name=brandreth1 /> but the public mood was transformed from hostility to respect by a live broadcast made by the Queen on 5&nbsp;September.<ref name="brandreth2">Brandreth, p. 359</ref> Uncertain as to whether they should walk behind her coffin during the funeral procession, Diana's sons hesitated.<ref name=brandreth2 /> Philip told William, "If you don't walk, I think you'll regret it later. If I walk, will you walk with me?"<ref name=brandreth2 /> On the day of the funeral, Philip, William, Harry, Charles and Diana's brother, [[Charles Spencer, 9th Earl Spencer|Earl Spencer]], walked through London behind her bier.

Over the next few years, [[Mohamed Fayed]], whose son [[Dodi Fayed]] was also killed in the crash, claimed that Prince Philip had ordered the death of Diana and that the accident was staged. The inquest into the Princess of Wales's death concluded in 2008 that there was no evidence of a conspiracy.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7322204.stm |publisher=बीबीसी न्यूज़ | title=Duke 'did not order Diana death' | date=31 March 2008 | accessdate=22 May 2010}}</ref>

Originally holding the title and style of a [[prince of Greece and Denmark]], Philip abandoned these royal titles prior to his marriage, and was thereafter created a British [[duke]], among other noble titles. It was not, however, until the Queen issued Letters Patent in 1957 that Philip was again titled as a prince.<ref name=prince />

==पूर्वज==
<!-- Philip is the oldest living great-great-grandchild of Queen Victoria, as well as her oldest living descendant following the death of [[Count Carl Johan Bernadotte of Wisborg]] on 5 May 2012. Through his descent from the British royal family, he is in the [[line of succession to the British throne|line of succession to the thrones of the 16 Commonwealth realms]].

In July 1993, through [[mitochondrial DNA]] analysis of a sample of Prince Philip's blood, British scientists were able to confirm the identity of the remains of several members of [[Alexandra Feodorovna (Alix of Hesse)|Empress Alexandra of Russia]]'s family, several decades after their 1918 massacre by the Bolsheviks. Prince Philip was then one of two living great-grandchildren in the female line of Alexandra's mother [[Princess Alice of the United Kingdom]], the other being his sister [[Princess Sophie of Greece and Denmark|Sophie]], who died in 2001.
