The young Prince of Greece and Denmark was born in Corfu in 1921 where his parents Prince Andrew of Greece and Princess Alice lived in a stunning 19th-century villa called Mon Repos, which is French for 'My Rest.'

The former royal residence is where Philp lived with his elder sister Sophie until he was eighteen months old.

Philip – who passed away at the age of 99 on 9 April – was just one-and-a-half when the family left Greece, and went on to spend the following years of his life in France.
He later denounced his Greek title and became a British citizen upon his engagement to Princess Elizabeth in 1946 and took on his mother's anglicised name – Mountbatten.
