The Duke - A Portrait of Prince Philip
Monday, 12 May 2008
A major two-part documentary series offers a unique and personal insight into the life and work of The Duke of Edinburgh.
Over the past six decades as consort to the Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh has been a constant figure in the lives of the British people, a fixed point in a changing landscape.
But he still remains something of an enigma.
Bombastic and autocratic say his critics. Colourful and stimulating say his admirers.
Famous for his so-called gaffes, while some of his initiatives have shown him to be a man ahead of his time, such as The Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme, which has been an outstanding success and imitated around the world.
Granted unparalleled access over recent months, ITV has followed the Duke, producing a fascinating chronicle of the solo portfolio HRH has carved out for himself.
The films include an exclusive conversation between the Duke and Sir Trevor McDonald at the Duke's Sandringham private estate and never-before-seen cine footage of his travels around the world, taken from private film archive which he shot himself.
This episode is on ITV, Monday 12 May 2008 @ 9-10pm.
