Philip, Prince of Greece

While this is more of background material than an actual biography of Prince Philip, it really helps to fill in the gaps of his story and the motivations of his family. I had read in some of the letters of Princess Alice that she thought her son had a good shot at becoming King of the Hellenes. Instead, the birth of the future Constantine II pushed Philip away from an unsteady Greek throne and towards a future in Great Britain. More importantly, it helped me understand the ups and downs of Philip's father and his eventual decision to have his son educated in England instead of Greece.
