HERE’S HOW HE WAS DEPICTED IN FILM AND TV

Duke of Edinburgh died aged 99 with several movies and TV shows depicting him on screen

Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh — who died April 9 at 99 — spent most of his life as a stalwart companion to his bride, who became Queen Elizabeth II unexpectedly upon her father’s death in 1952. Through those many years, the prince was portrayed by a variety of actors in movies and television.

The most recent and high-profile depiction has been on Netflix’s hit series The Crown, where Philip was played at various ages by two different British actors, with a third upcoming in the series’ fifth and sixth seasons. An American was cast as Philip in The Queen, while one of his real-life friends took the reins in a 1982 TV movie for CBS.

He was even portrayed in another TV movie by the actor who menaced Middle-earth as Saruman in Peter Jackson’s Lord of

the Rings franchise. Curious about how Hollywood sees Prince Philip? Here are the actors who’ve taken on the role over the years — and one who will play him in the near future.
