Why read it?

1 author picked Philip, Prince of Greece as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I was gripped by this book because, unlike many works on the late Duke of Edinburgh, it concentrated on his early life as a Greek Prince. 

I never realised how close he came to being heir to the Greek throne at one point. The authors use little-known Greek archives, and I learnt a lot about Philip, his father Prince Andrew, and some lesser-known members of the Greek royal family.

Reading a book written from the Greek perspective threw a different light on Philip and his relatives.
