“Phil the Greek” as he is known by some in the UK, may not be British by birthright, but anyone who knows anything about British History will know that kings and queens often married into other households of other countries to form political and military alliances.

Prince Philip is as British as they come-he looks like one and sounds like one, which can't be said for millions of British passport holders. But if we tried to cast doubt on their claims of nationality, the same people who go on about 'Phil the Greek' would call us racists. All sounds bitter and twisted to me.
