A young blonde-haired Prince Philip pictured in Corfu, where he was born on June 10, 1921. Aged 18 months he saw his father, Prince Andrew of Greece, sentenced to death by a revolutionary court. Britain's King George V sent over a Navy warship to help the family - Prince Andrew, wife Princess Alice (eldest daughter of Louis Alexander Mountbatten) and five children - flee. Prince Philip reportedly made the voyage in a crib made out of an old orange box. (Rex Features)
