Who Is Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten - A picture of Prince Philip taken in August 1935, when he was appearing in a school production of "Macbeth", in which he played the part of "Malcolm" with outstanding success. L to R:- Prince Philip; P. Ebert (king Suncan); A. Brown and Charles Leith-Hay in the costumes of their parts. Blond and handsome Prince Philip, personifying the popular conception of the Creek sun-god, was a good actor and this reason coupled with his good looks led to his being chosen to appear in many school plays, where he specialised in Shakesparen parts. November 15, 1947.
