Naval service is a tradition in the Royal Family, and Prince Philip's love of the sea showed it- self early in his lile. lie was born on the Ionian island ol Corlu (June 10. 1921). son at Prince Andrew of Greece. On his father's side he is of Danish descent- Prince Andrew was a youngerson 01 King George of the Hellenes, son at King Christian IX of Den- mark.

The Danish royal family is one oi those ancient - ruling houses that have no surname. so when becoming a British subject on March 18. 1947. Lieutenant Mount- batten took his ma-t.her's family name. At the same time he re- nounced his right of succession to the Greek thrvomshe would have been filth in the line.

Choam. he went in Mr. Kurt Hahn's school. which alter the Nazi rise to power moved Irom Salom. Germany. to Gordonstoun. near Elgln in Scotland.

in 1939, Prince Philip left school to become a Royal Naval cadet. at the same time applying for Brit- ish naturalization. He was still at Dartmouth when the war broke out and his naturalization, like that of many others. was held up.

The Princess personal standard. which she is entitled to fly as a person ol Royal rank. over any dwelling where she is in residence (except where there is a senior member or the Royal lamily there as well) is. like her coat ox arms.

a relic ol the days of high chival- I

ry, when the Sovereign and the peat Princes under him in battle. displayed their standards to be a rallying point lor their men-at- arms. The sight of the standard flying through the haze and dust of battle was prool that the King was present in person. and was a ready means cl identllying the Royal quarters lor those who.had urgent. business with him.

Romantic Dreams

such usages seem mere romantic dreams in these more prosaic times when sovereigns no longer ride into battle at the head of their men. But in lact. Princess Elizabeth's standard has served a like uselul purpose of identifica- tion in recent years.

On her visits to English prorln-: clal towns. she drives not in thc' easily recognized maroon lnril scarlet Royal cars. but in Ii plsinl black sedan that would be dllli-, cult to distinguish lrom other cars. in the procession except that from; lls radiator top there files a small- Slag. colored predominantly red. and yellow, which is the Princess, standard in miniature. without it. many in the waiting crowds wouldj miss seeing the Princess complete-
