Screen Portrays Duke's Life - The Actor
The Duke of Edinburgh (standing, second from right), dressed for a role in Macbeth when he was 14 and a pupil at Gordonstoun public school on the east coast of Scotland. This is a scene from "Prince Philip", a biographical film on the life of the Duke which will be shown in London today for the first time. Veteran producer Howard Thomas, who made the colour Coronation film "Elizabeth is Queen", spent a year sorting through thousands of feet of film touching on the Duke's activities. The half hour documentary opens with the Royal Wedding Day in 1947; goes back to the Duke's schooldays and ends with the Coronation.
25th September 1953
