Journalists have continually portrayed him as a gaffe-proneserial philanderer, with European outlets going way off-piste and claiming hehas fathered 24 illegitimate children. Prince Philip says 'the impression the public has got isunfair', though there is noself-serving autobiography and his interviews with broadcasters or writers aredone grudgingly. The Dukesets out to explore the man behind thevarious myths, drawing on interviews with relations, friends and courtiers and the Duke'sown words. It brings to life some rare aspects of his character, from a love ofpoetry and religion to his fondness for Duke Ellington and his fascination withUFOs. It also explains why for over seven decades he has been theQueen's 'strength and stay' - and why he is regarded by many as a nationaltreasure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-highlights\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy to enjoy: 320 pages · Hardcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBy Lloyd, Ian\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-details\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780750996082\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lloyd, Ian\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 320\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e English\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 February 2021\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e New\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-about\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the authors\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLloyd, Ian and Ian Lloyd\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/books.google.co.uk\/books?id=7uD-zQEACAAJ\u0026amp;dq=isbn:9780750996082\u0026amp;hl=\u0026amp;source=gbs_api\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eMore about this book\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The History Press","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":53346206351624,"sku":"9780750996082-NewItem","price":7.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0928\/5297\/7928\/files\/standardized_765f36e67a3e7be2ad00178dfc5fcc5d.jpg?v=1771449368","url":"https:\/\/www.azbooks.co.uk\/products\/9780750996082","provider":"AZ Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
