Acerca de esta escucha

Prince Philip's life and legacy. Listen to the new and definitive biography of the remarkable Duke of Edinburgh.

For decades Prince Philip shared the Queen’s burden of office without upstaging her, always privately providing reassurance and advice but never overstepping the boundaries of his supporting role. It was an unforgiving position - a challenge for anyone - but one that he met head on. He remained the Queen’s adviser and closest confidant and was known as such the world over. That said, he was wise enough to recognise his limitations and the constraints of his role. He always seemed to instinctively know when it was time to step back and let his wife take the lead. His job was, after all, to allow her star to shine.

Robert Jobson’s magnificent biography of the Duke of Edinburgh tells the full story of his remarkable life and achievements, and how, after his marriage in 1947 to Princess Elizabeth, this dedicated military man spent so much of his life dutifully supporting his wife. Though he created a role for himself as a determined moderniser and environmental campaigner, and through the Duke of Edinburgh Awards, encouraged young people to reach their potential, it was perhaps his greatest achievement to have been a loyal husband and companion, and a loving father and grandfather.

Better Editing?

The story is a fantastic one and so is the subject of the book. The narrator however could’ve been such a better job. There seemed to be parts where the editing of the audio files left me wanting much more, with poor editing a horrible sound in almost inaudible understanding. Prince Philip was how much more complex character that I initially thought in this book brought the full dynamic of his personality and accomplishments to life. Jobson did a fantastic job in capturing this individuals persona in life into an engaging and worth reading story. I would have preferred a little bit more details I felt the story was a bit short considering but overall definitely worth a read.

A life of service indeed

The editing was terrible
And the attempt at the voice of the Queen was from a Monty Python sketch. I did learn more about the Prince as a person and I grew to like him more and appreciate his service so it succeeded in that way.
