Did you know nomination

{{Template:Did you know nominations/Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh}}

Surname at birth not listed?

I wanted to find out his surname/family name at birth, but the article only lists the one he later took, which I find a bit odd! Brittanica says "Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg" ( https://www.britannica.com/biography/Philip-duke-of-Edinburgh ). 2A01:C23:6056:2700:E8E5:9715:34E:22AB (talk) 15:41, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

:Glucksburg was Philip's father's house, which had the very long surname you listed... His last name he took when he was naturalized was Mountbatten, coming from his mother Princess Alice of Battenberg. The Countess of Battenberg's son was Philip's grandfather. Philip's grandfather made the 1st Marquess of Milford Haven, and Anglicized his name to Mountbatten. That is why he is Philip Mountbatten, but his father's side is the House of Glucksburg. You can see other information here. Rexophile (talk) 22:27, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

Philip Mountbatten

References to deceased royals normally default to their name not title.

Shouldn't references to him now say "Philip Mountbatten" not "Philip, Duke of Edinburgh"? Jellinator (talk) 01:39, 19 January 2025 (UTC)

Change of Title to Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark

Since Prince Philip birth name was Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark. So the title should be appropriate. To avoid confusion with the present Duke of Edinburgh. 2409:40F0:1014:1D2C:8000:0:0:0 (talk) 11:15, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

:Surely they are adequately disambiguated by personal name? Celia Homeford (talk) 12:58, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

:Was he not much better known, and for much longer, as the Duke of Edinburgh? The description "of Greece and Denmark" suggests no connection with the United Kingdom? Martinevans123 (talk) 13:04, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
