Philip adalah anggota Wangsa Glücksburg, cabang Denmark-Jerman dari Wangsa Oldenburg, keluarga besar yang memiliki akar sejarah hingga abad kedua belas, dengan keturunannya yang telah menjadi penguasa di berbagai negara Eropa selama berabad-abad. Kakeknya adalah seorang Raja Yunani dan kakek buyutnya adalah Raja Denmark, membuat Philip sebagai seorang Pangeran Yunani dan Denmark secara silsilah. Pada Maret 1947, Philip menanggalkan statusnya sebagai pangeran dan dinaturalisasi menjadi warga Britania dengan mengambil marga "Mountbatten." Pada November 1947, dia dinobatkan menjadi bangsawan Britania dengan dianugerahi gelar Adipati Edinburgh (Duke of Edinburgh). Ratu Elizabeth II kemudian menjadikan Philip sebagai Pangeran Britania Raya pada 1959. Sebagai anggota dari angkatan laut Britania, Philip telah turut serta dalam beberapa perang untuk membela Britania. Sebagai pendamping ratu, Philip turut serta mendampingi Elizabeth II dalam berbagai kesempatan, seperti pertemuan resmi atau kunjungan kenegaraan. Philip juga menjadi pelindung bagi berbagai yayasan amal. Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh (born Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark, 10 June 1921[fn 2] – 9 April 2021) was a member of the British royal family as the husband of Queen Elizabeth II. Philip was born into the Greek and Danish royal families. He was born in Greece, but his family was exiled from the country when he was eighteen months old. After being educated in France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, he joined the British Royal Navy in 1939, aged 18. From July 1939, he began corresponding with the thirteen-year-old Princess Elizabeth, whom he had first met in 1934. During the Second World War he served with distinction in the Mediterranean and Pacific Fleets. After the war, Philip was granted permission by George VI to marry Elizabeth. Before the official announcement of their engagement in July 1947, he abandoned his Greek and Danish titles and styles, became a naturalised British subject, and adopted his maternal grandparents' surname Mountbatten. He married Elizabeth on 20 November 1947. Just before the wedding, he was granted the style His Royal Highness and created Duke of Edinburgh, Earl of Merioneth, and Baron Greenwich by King George VI. Philip left active military service when Elizabeth became queen in 1952, having reached the rank of commander, and was made a British prince in 1957.
Philip had four children with Elizabeth: Charles, Prince of Wales; Anne, Princess Royal; Prince Andrew, Duke of York; and Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex. Through a British Order in Council issued in 1960, descendants of the couple not bearing royal styles and titles can use the surname Mountbatten-Windsor, which has also been used by some members of the royal family who do hold titles, such as Anne, Andrew, and Edward. A sports enthusiast, Philip helped develop the equestrian event of carriage driving. He was a patron, president, or member of over 780 organisations, and he served as chairman of The Duke of Edinburgh's Award, a self-improvement program for young people aged 14 to 24.[2] He was the longest-serving consort of a reigning British monarch and the longest-lived male member of the British royal family. He retired from his royal duties on 2 August 2017, aged 96, having completed 22,219 solo engagements since 1952. Philip died on 9 April 2021, at the age of 99, just two months before his 100th birthday.
