    His mother was a Princess of Denmark and his father was a Prince of Greece. Therefore he was born a prince of both countries. He renounced both titles before marrying Princess Elizabeth and converted to the Church of England.

    Thank you Anon. He has always struck me as the perfect partner for Her Majesty. The Greco-Danish mix must be agood one!

    One of our neighbours whose husband was an inspector in the city tramways and therefore a cut above the rest of us said it would never last.

    I believe Prince Philip's father was 'of Greece and Denmark' and his mother was 'of Battenberg' a morganatic title of Hesse-Darmstadt.
