當菲利普親王在接近他滿100歲生日的幾週前去世時，全國上下慶祝他對職責和對女王的奉獻，朋友和家人紛紛向他的許多成就致敬。
但正如女王所說，菲利普親王並不「容易接受恭維」。這部電影盡可能讓菲利普親王自己說話，利用罕見的檔案和錄音，讓公爵談論自己的生活和工作。這些檔案跨越了80多年的時間，來自世界各地，我們聽到菲利普親王談論他的家庭、君主制、環境、媒體侵犯、查爾斯王子的未來等主題，這些主題在今天仍然非常重要。
When he died just weeks before his 100th birthday, the country celebrated Prince Philip's devotion to duty and to the Queen as friends and family paid tribute to his many accomplishments.
But, as the Queen also said, Prince Philip didn’t “take easily to compliments.’ This film, as far as possible, lets Prince Philip speak for himself, by drawing on rare archive and audio recordings of the Duke talking about his own life and work. The archive spans over 80 years and has been sourced from across the world; we hear Prince Philip talk about his family, the monarchy, the environment, media intrusion, Prince Charles’ future…. topics that are hugely relevant today.
