Yes, he was a first-rate Naval officer and could have had any command he wanted ... but instead gave it all up chose to stay with his wife, Queen Elizabeth
He met Elizabeth before the war. So if he had intentions to marry her, serving actively in the war was a obvious step to win the approval of both Elizabeth and King George VI.
Thank you for pointing this out.
Philip served with distinction in His Royal Navy during WW2.
He could have had a career in the the British Navy. Instead he served the Crown(his wife). He easily could have been a flag officer.
Didn’t just give up his career. His religion, his identity. Gave up being a prince of Greece and Denmark. He served his adopted country well.
