Philip was born in Greece, into the Greek and Danish royal families; his family was exiled from the country when he was eighteen months old.

The Greek royal family (Greek: Ελληνική Βασιλική Οικογένεια) is a branch of the Danish royal family, itself a branch of the House of Glücksburg, that reigned in Greece from 1863 to 1924 and again from 1935 to 1973. Its first monarch was George I, the second son of King Christian IX of Denmark.[1]

There was no Greek royal family of historic standing, since Greece was ruled by the Ottomans. So some of the inbred breeding stock of Northern Europe was imported to start it off.
They’re all royal Krauts and minor royal Krauts at that!
From duchies, principalities and minor states back when German was just a geographical expression not the name of a nation.
This was the work of Victoria and Albert, make all the royal families in Europe related. Then there would be peace in Europe. “Family” working things out and all of that!
It failed!
thanks for that
interesting history
wasnt his family executed?
only he and his sister got out alive?
