...born a prince (of the Royal Danish house of Schleswig-Holstein-Son-derburg-Glucksburg, which originated in Germany and now rules Greece) and, though he renounced the title officially to become a British subject, he continued to call himself Prince Philip. When Philip became engaged to Elizabeth, King George VI made the ex-Greek prince an English royal duke with the proviso that he be called, like Britain's other royal dukes (all of whom are also princes), "His Royal Highness." But with that settled, most people went right on calling him Prince Philip just as they had before...
...afraid of having them mix with other children ("The mischief done by bad boys and the things they may hear and learn from them cannot be overrated"), the future George V was also kept in virtual isolation. It was not until they were 13 that Edward VIII and George VI were sent to the Royal Naval College at Osborne. There Edward Windsor got his first taste of what a boy's world is like when some senior-termers poured red ink over his head, once banged a window down on his neck in "a crude reminder...

An erect, mustached ex-cavalryman (India, the Boer War, World War I) who looked and acted like the prototype of Britain's foxhunting, elephant-shooting old regimentals, the Earl of Athlone served as aide-de-camp to King George V, King Edward VIII, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, officiated at countless cornerstone-layings and ribbon-cuttings, became known as the royal family's most affable handyman...
Ornamentation. For tiny (4 ft. 10 in.) Wanda Landowska, the new album marks a return to piano recording after an absence of 20 years (she recorded Mozart's "Coronation" Concerto for the coronation of George VI in 1936). During part of that time she was engaged in her monumental harpsichord recording of the 48 rippling, finger-cracking preludes and fugues that constitute Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier, which she called "my last will and testament."
