People who fact check “The Crown” say that the part about Philip’s father isn’t true. His father was a ne’er do well, though.

There’s a lot on “The Crown” that isn’t true.

Here is some more information about Phillip’s background

He was a very interesting person. Apparently he wasn’t Greek at all. And yes, his father turned out poorly. His name comes from his mother’s family, not his father’s.
