    About this audiobook

    Discover the full and fascinating story of Prince Philip—one of the most important, elusive, and intriguing royals—in “the first major biography of Philip in more than thirty years” (Vanity Fair) written by the renowned royal family expert and editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine.

    The son of Greek and Danish royalty, consort to the queen, and the grandfather of Princes Harry and William, Prince Philip was at the heart of the royal family for decades—yet he remained an enigma to many.

    Now, Ingrid Seward, the editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine, brings her decades of experience covering the royal family to this “authoritative and thorough” (Kirkus Reviews) biography of Queen Elizabeth II’s husband, and father, grandfather, and great-grandfather of the next three kings of England. From his early childhood in Paris among aristocrats and his mother’s battle with schizophrenia to his military service during World War II and marriage to Elizabeth in 1947, Seward chronicles Philip’s life and reveals his many faces—as a father, a philanthropist, a philanderer, and a statesman. Though it took years for Philip to find his place in a royal court that initially distrusted him, he remained one of the most complex, powerful, yet confounding members of Britain’s royal family until his death in April 2021.

    Entertaining, eye-opening, and informative, Prince Philip Revealed gets to the heart of his multi-faceted character and his crucial role in shaping the monarchy in the twenty-first century.

      So well done. Very difficult to capture 99 years of awesomeness but she did. I learned so much!

      A good exploration of Phillip’s life journey, which examined some of his deeper complexities and compunctions.

      While his curiosity about life was healthy and ongoing, he carried with him the dysfunction of family trauma mixed with the martyrdom of being the consort. Kind of a fraternal order of ‘if I can do you it, you can/should, too’ was an ongoing theme for him. Sometimes it felt like he would take out his own grief on his kids to make them look weak as opposed to the humble admission that he too felt sadness.

      My only issue was his equating Meghan to Wallace Simpson and Harry stepping out of the family to Andrew’s association with Epstein.
