Born in 1921 on the island of Corfu, he was the youngest of five children and the only boy. His family became refugees in Paris soon after and he went to the American school there. He then went to school in England and Germany and when his Jewish headmaster escaped Germany and founded Gordonstoun school in 1934, he followed. During the war his mother was a war hero and became one of the Righteous Among the Nations. He served with the Royal Navy, during which time he struck up a pen-pal relationship with a distant teenage cousin. After the war they married, and went on to have four children. He did not retire until 2017, the same year as he celebrated his platinum wedding anniversary. In an address to the General Dental Council in 1960, he coined a new word, saying: “Dontopedalogy is the science of opening your mouth and putting your foot in it, a science which I have practised for a good many years.” Prince Philip
