In one episode of the hit royal drama, Philip, played by Jonathan Pryce, tells Knatchbull, played by Natascha McElhone, that his marriage is facing"problems" as he and the queen have"grown in separate directions." Morton stressed that while Philip was coined"a ladies’ man" by the press, there is no evidence that he was ever unfaithful to his wife.
Pat Kirkwood's legs were described as "the eighth wonder of the world." The "Beauty of the Blitz" met Prince Philip on several occasions. In addition to Kirkwood, Philip has also been linked to other actresses, including Helene Cordet, Merle Oberon and Anna Massey. People magazine previously reported rumors persisted that Philip was the father — not the godfather — of Cordet’s two children. She called the paternity gossip"ridiculous" and claimed they were fathered by French fighter pilot Marcel Boisot.
"… I think women just adored him because he was such a handsome specimen. … And he has an amazing charm when he wants to use it, an amazing charm. He’s a very interesting character. … Whatever he may have done in his private life, no one has really put their finger on that. He’s always put his duty to the queen first."
