Can someone identify the pale blue ribbon worn by Prince Philip in the bottom row, 2nd from the left (3rd from the right) in the photo shown here? It looks like it might be that of a Knight of the (Danish) Order of the Elephant, but that its not the only award that he has received with a lightish blue ribbon and the resolution in this sample is not good enough for a positive identification. I have positive identification for the remaining ribbons. Cheers AusTerrapin (talk) 20:00, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
When HRH became a Prince of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in 1957, surely that did not change his offical style did it? Ever since 1947, and to this day, he is known as HRH The Duke of Edinburgh, without reference to his Christian name, just like all Royal Dukes. That is to say, the addition of "The Prince" before his name only altered the full form of his title and made it correct for him to be called "Prince Philip", as the media is wont to do, but which would otherwise have been inaccurate. So instead of noting the 1957 addition by creating a separate entry in his list of titles in such a way that the 1957 onward title given no longer represents the official way of addressing him (which seems to govern how titles are listed on Wikipedia), would it not be better to leave it at the entry from 1947? i.e. His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh. It could be more fully explained below that while the style HRH The Duke of Edinburgh has always been official, the dignity of Prince of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland was acquired in 1957. —Preceding unsigned comment added by GiovanniCarestini (talk • contribs) 13:17, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
In the long form of the title ought not there to be the words "Most Excellent"? I'm guessing that it ought to read:
"Grand Master and First and Principal Knight Grand Cross of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire"
That is at any rate how the Order of the British Empire used to be referred to in formal contexts, and though this usage is now uncommon it has as far as I know never been officially changed. Does anyone know about this? I'd be very grateful for any information. Tillander 05:55, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
Since the Wikipedia article on the Order of the British Empire now uses this language I've made this change. Tillander 21:18, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
It also occurs to me that the title in its most formal form should read "His Royal Highness, The Most High, Most Mighty, and Illustrious Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh," etc. Is this style not correct for royal dukes? Tillander 06:46, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
Garter Principal King of Arms also said: "...the late most high, most mighty and Illustrious Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh...", during the funeral service. However, the wording in the official order of service on the royal.uk website and in the reference on this page to the SKY article use "...the late most Illustrious and most Exalted Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh...". The full style section on this page is correct as printed in the order of service but it isn't what was said so I think it merits a note Alleleator (talk) 12:07, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
He is a prince and he is a consort, but I can find no evidence that he has ever been given the title "Prince Consort". As far as I know the only person to whom this title was ever given was Prince Albert, the husband of Queen Victoria. Accordingly I've removed this title in the article, but I'd be happy to see it restored if suitable evidence can be found. Tillander 21:21, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
Did the Duke attend King George VI's Coronation (he would have been 16, and as the King's second cousin it would be possible), or was this given to him on his marriage to Elizabeth. Does anyone know why? It seems odd to give a medal to someone a decade after the event takes place. 19:45, 27 April 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.69.121.132 (talk)
I guess the Greenwich title is wrong. If I am right it is: Baron Greenwich, of Greenwich in the County of London because there is the other one in the County of Kent for Baroness Caroline Townsend!?! VINCENZO1492 12:25, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
I'm not privy to how things are done in Australia but surely now he is an AK that replaces the AC (regardless of them being in two different divisions)? --Charlie Huang 【遯卋山人】 10:03, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
There has recently been some conjecture between editors of this article as to whether the correct form of Prince Philip's style is with the definite article capitalised 'HRH The Prince Philip...' or not 'HRH the Prince Philip...'. This article has been stable on the capitalised form for several years and is consistent with MOS:JOBTITLES; changing it away from this requires consensus. Notwithstanding, it should be noted that:
The only more authoritative source than these three is the original Letters Patent. Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Peerage and Baronetage/Archive 8#Capital letters briefly discussed the broader question of capitalisation in titles of nobility but did not specifically discuss Prince Philip's which, as a Royal, have further conventions beyond those used for non-royal peers. Moreover, this discussion did not elicit a clear understanding of the conventions that applied to any of the titles of nobility and a formal WP:MOS policy which explicitly overrides authoritative sources has not been established as yet (or not one that I have been able to find).

How to add this?

In 1975 he also received the highest distinction of the Scout Association of Japan, the Golden Pheasant Award.[1] However, I am uncertain where to properly nest it.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 15:31, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

event though he is created Prince of UK 1957, Gazette dated 09-11-1948 refers his as "His Royal highness Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh" [1] Chamika1990 (talk) 18:11, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
A recent edit changed the full style shouldn't the style used before his death also be included?–Collinanderson (talk) 11:04, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
I've updated the reference in 'Full Style' from a news source to the official source Alleleator (talk) 13:15, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
The sections Royal and noble titles and styles and Royal styles and titles 1947 state that he was granted the style His Royal Highness on 19 November and was made Duke of Edinburgh on 20 November. However, the reference for this is a page in The London Gazette [1] that lists both honours as happening on 20 November. Is there a reference to support the 19 November date? --Mgp28 (talk) 15:01, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

I doubt that a one-time use of an epiteth is enough to create a "title", be it official or unofficial. To me it sounds like a joke and I would suggest to delete it. Oudeístalk 17:49, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
