This is Philip of Edinburgh’s unpublished video unveiled hours before his death

The death of Duke of Edinburgh has gone around the world. The flags in the United Kingdom are already at half mast as a sign of mourning and solidarity with the Queen Isabel IIThus, little by little, the tabloids begin to scrutinize the life of this royal character and reveal how many photos or unpublished data there are.

This is how several unpublished images of Philip Mountbatten (the Duke’s secular name) were revealed during his early years of marriage to the British monarch. These videos are part of the documentary “The Queen Unseen” and were released a few hours before Bukingham Palace announced the Duke’s death.

The audiovisual production was created by the ITV news network, which planned precisely to broadcast it on the night of this Friday, April 9, on the occasion of the Queen’s 95th birthday at the end of the month. It is clear that the images now take on another dimension with the death of this royalty born on a Greek island in the Ionian Sea.

According to the Infobae.com portal, the home videos where Felipe de Edimburgo and his wife are exposed show the couple more relaxed after seven months of a hectic tour of the Commonwealth. These clips were filmed in December 1953 by Patricia Norrie, the wife of then-New Zealand Governor Sir Willoughby Norrie, who hosted the couple while official events were taking place.

The audiovisuals show the Duke having fun in a pool and playing with a Norries daughter, Sarah Stephenson; and after this production, the now-adult Stephenson acknowledged that it was “hugely exciting” to live with the members of royalty. In addition, he indicated that the Duke was trying to get on a float and that “the royal couple knew we were filming them, but they didn’t seem to care what we were doing.”

Philip of Edinburgh became the surviving royal consort of the British crown by living with Elizabeth II for over 70 years, and royal experts believe he was always “in the shadow of his wife with great loyalty.”
