On this week's episode of The Royal Beat: Book Club we discuss the wonderful life of Prince Philip. Known for his straightforward demeanour and at times controversial remarks, he’s a public figure that has been and continues to be of great interest. This week Gareth Russell presents the show and is joined by Assistant Editor at The Times Kate Mansey, Former Communications Secretary to Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip Ailsa Anderson and author of The Duke: 100 Chapters in the Life of Prince Philip Ian Lloyd. Ian’s book delves into Prince Philip's complex childhood, the first meeting between himself and wife Queen Elizabeth and we discover that behind the headlines he was in fact a very sensitive man with a huge heart.
