Prince Philip was born on the Greek island of Kyrkyra, AKA Cofu, and was known then as Prince Phillip of Battenberg, son of Prince Andrew of Greece, and a direct descendant of Queen Victoria. His name was changed to Mountbatten due to a little local difficuty around Europe between 1939 and 1945.

Her husband's cried the Duke o' Edinburgh
He's wan o' they kilted Greeks
But dinna blaw his kilt awa
Fur Lizzie weers the breeks.

An approximation of a verse from the song A Scottish Breakaway.
