Born in Corfu in 1921, Prince Philip has lived on the national stage through Britain's move from Empire to Commonwealth amid all the extraordinary political and social changes that have taken place since he married Princess Elizabeth in 1947. This is a new and powerful portrait of a man who has often been the subject of conflicting opinions - yet who is the most popular royal amongst Buckingham Palace staff, and who they love and regard as a "man of the people". The programme includes contributions from Gyles Brandreth, Philip Eade, Penny Junor, Jeffrey Archer, Emily Nash, and Richard Kay. There are wonderful examples of Prince Philip's "gaffes" as well as powerful new and unseen footage.
