Philip’s faith recalled

Church Times / ABC news

Church leaders have been recalling the spiritual curiosity of the Duke of Edinburgh, whose funeral was held a few days ago.

Born into the Greek royal family as Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark, he was baptised in the Greek Orthodox Church. His father was exiled and his family left Greece when Philip was very young. He became an Anglican when he married Elizabeth, who as Queen is Supreme Governor of the Church of England.
