For more than 70 years Prince Philip was a valuable supporter of Elizabeth II, but was also the modernizer of the British monarchy, thanks to which he was able to manage modern needs – writes the British newspaper in Saturday Comments.
“The prince lived so long that he appeared to be a well-known pillar of the British state. Today’s younger generation can only imagine him with nothing but old age, with the jokes and variations of old age. The knowledge of movies and television, how clearly the young and intelligent prince stood out from the British establishment of the 1950s, And how difficult it was to win his wars with the suffocating tradition, how he challenged British society, industry and social complacency, his impatience for naughtiness, incompetence and his reform of old-fashioned closed practices and institutions, which Prince Philip did more than modernize counselors or officials for the service of the Queen Writes an editorial in the Times.
“The prince worked behind the scenes. It was difficult for him to find himself in the midst of the conservatism of the palace establishment, but he gradually won over his ideas. The queen seems to remain unchanged in her character, never, nevertheless submissive to fashions. Has changed smoothly. For more than half a century, the changing practices and expectations of the monarchy have summed up 1952 frames and significantly improved the way of life in Great Britain by 2021. Prince Philip has played a decisive role in the evolution of this organization, “the newspaper points out.
The Guardian draws attention to a similar feature daily. “Royal power is a character that can be achieved through birth or marriage. But Prince Philip, by contrast, was a pioneer in industrializing the monarchy as a profession. Like the queen, her diligence contributed to transforming the post – war monarchy. In her time, the prince was a real prince. He wanted the monarchy to change over time. He wanted the (royal) family to be publicly active and effective. He opposed empty gestures. He supported science, royalty and those around them that technology was not yet in the habit of doing so. Britain must break down the gateway to the new era without sinking into the old. He saw television as a medium that could re-create the monarchy for mass culture, and his family to accept a television documentary about them. Put pressure on the man. It aired in 1969, “The Guardian” writes in an editorial.
The Daily Telegraph points out that it is unreasonable to downplay Prince Philip’s personality as too erroneous and primitive. It is a daily reminder that Prince Philip was the patron of more than 800 organizations and that the most enduring contribution to British public life was the scholarships in his name, which benefited more than six million young people. “Furthermore, he is not a fossil, not a fossil. He was the first member of the royal family to be interviewed on television, and the support of wildlife charities overcame widespread concerns about the environment and the future of the planet,” the newspaper said.
“Because of the nature of his role as a prince-wife, he has always played a supporting role for the queen. At times, due to his self-contradiction, he was ridiculed as the most experienced monument in the world. (…) But he was never a partner to the queen. Through his support for the Crown, he made a lasting contribution to the monarchy and the development of the nation, ”the Daily Telegraph concludes.
Prince Philip was the wife of Queen Elizabeth for more than 73 years. He died Friday morning, two months before his 100th birthday.
