If you could show what is the “fiction” in what I reported, and back it up, I will concede. Otherwise, you are frustrated by facts you refuse to accept.

And as to “petty facts” — the facts about Edward the VIII are far from that — or you believe Churchill knows less than you do about the topic. People died because of what Edward VIII did, and failed to do, in the interwar and war years. Good people, innocent people. Petty?

Some of the facts about Prince Phillip are here:

The Telegraph did not deem that “petty.” The photo of him leads the article. He was not a NAZI supporter, but his three sisters married into the SS. The Queen Mother DID object to his lineage and family before her daughter married him.

The reference to the SS - brother-in-laws was made as recently as last month in the British press:

If you have better and other sources that deny these facts, please provide.

Shooting the messenger won’t change these facts.

Your “news” is 80 years old. It is historical trivia.

The Duke of Edinburgh’s mother is one of the’Righteous among nations’ for sheltering a Jewish family in Nazi occupied Greece during the war: http://www.yadvashem.org/yv/en/righteous/stories/princess_alice.asp
