The clip is part of the ITV News documentary “The Queen Unseen”, where she shows the Duke relaxed in a swimming pool playing after his time in New Zealand. The audiovisual will be broadcast on the night of April 9.
The death of the Duke of Edinburgh has circled the globe. The flags in the United Kingdom are already half-masted in mourning and in solidarity with the Queen Elizabeth II. This is how the tabloids gradually begin to scrutinize the life of this character of royalty and reveal all the photograph or unpublished data exists.
This is how several unpublished images of Philip Mountbatten (secular name of the duke) were revealed during his first years of marriage with the British monarch. These videos are part of the documentary “The Queen Unseen” and came to light a few hours before Bukingham Palace announced the death of the duke.

The audiovisual production was created by the news channel ITV, which just planned to broadcast this Friday night, April 9 to mark the queen’s 95th birthday at the end of the month. Obviously the images now take on another dimension due to the demise of this royalty born on a Greek island in the Ionian Sea.
According to the portal Infobae.com, home videos exposing Philip of Edinburgh and his wife show the couple more relaxed after seven months of a hectic Commonwealth tour. These clips were filmed in December 1953 by Patricia Norrie, the wife of the then Governor of New Zealand, Sir Willoughby Norrie, who were receiving the couple as official events unfolded.

Audiovisuals show the Duke enjoying himself in a laundry room and playing with a Norries daughter, Sarah Stephenson; and after this production the now adult Stephenson acknowledged that it was “tremendously exciting” to live with members of royalty. He also indicated that the duke was trying to get on a float and that “the royal couple knew we were filming them, but they didn’t seem to care what we were doing.”
Philip of Edinburgh became the longest-serving monarchical consort in the British crown by living with Elizabeth II for more than 70 years, and royalty experts believe he was always “in the shadow of his woman with great loyalty “.
