                             H.R.H. PRINCE PHILIP - DUKE OF EDINBURGH

                                                       1921 - 2021

                                  ********************************

                     ISSUED FOR 2017 PLATINUM WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

                             PRISTINE & FRESH SOUVENIR SHEET OF 6 STAMPS   

                               NEVER HINGED (UNMOUNTED) MINT CONDITION

Sir Philip Mountbatten of Greece and Denmark married British Princess Elizabeth on 20 November 1947. On the morning of the wedding, his new father-in-law, King George VI, bestowed on Philip the title "H.R.H. THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH". This issue commemorates Philip and Elizabeth's Platinum Wedding Anniversary.

Prince Philip was born on Corfu, Greece, in June 1921, and was the youngest child and only son of Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark, and Princess Alice of Battenburg.  He was also a grandchild of British Queen Victoria.

This superbly-produced sheet is one of the few dedicated solely to Prince Philip. It was issued for the Republic of Tchad in 2017.  Philip is usually commemorated on stamp images showing his famous wife, Queen Elizabeth II, who ascended to the British Throne in 1952.  The most eye-catching aspect of the souvenir sheet is Philip's seldom seen (on stamps) Coat of Arms, emblazoned with his motto, "GOD IS MY HELP", and also the white-on-blue cross, representing Greece, his country of birth.

Three black-and-white joined stamps across the top show (unnamed) ships that he served on in WWII, flanking an image of his wedding day in 1947, alongside the Queen, waving to the crowds from a balcony at Buckingham Palace. 

Three color images across the bottom are stamps showing the Duke in his Naval uniform as Admiral of the Fleet, saluting the fallen at the Cenotaph in London on Remembrance Day, and waving to crowds on an official engagement, in which he participated more than 5,000 times.
