Prince Philipwas always destined to be royal.
Philip was born on the Greek Island, Corfu, on June 10, 1921.
His father was Prince Andrew of Greece, the son of King George I of Greece.
His mother was Princess Alice of Battenberg, and his grandmother was Olga Constantinovna, of the Romanov family.
Through his mother’s side, Philip was also the great-great-grandchild of Queen Victoria.
These many royal connections made Philip sixth in line to the Greek throne (perTown & Country).
Despite his royal lineage, Philip had arough childhood.
The family was banished from the country and accused of treason when he was just a year old.
The consistency that his childhood lacked became something he craved.
To that end, after finishing school, Philip enrolled at the Royal Naval College.
It was during his time there that he met his future wife and third-cousin, Princess Elizabeth.
He’s always served faithfully and has put his country first again and again.
Philip is believed to be worth about $30 million (perCelebrity Net Worth).
