Auch wenn Prinz Philip in seinem 99. Lebensjahr in der Offentlichkeit nur noch selten in Erscheinung tritt, gehoren er und die Konigin unbestreitbar zum Ensemble der Gegenwart, zwei Ikonen der Bestandigkeit, dem Wandel schier entzogen. Mein Fels, mein Halt, nannte Elizabeth II. ihren Mann bei einem Empfang zur Goldenen Hochzeit 1997. Der Duke of Edinburgh, Philip Mountbatten, hat bei der Festigung der britischen Monarchie in der Tat eine zentrale Rolle gespielt. Welche Steine jedoch auf seinem Lebensweg lagen und wie diese sein Wesen pragten, schildert Thomas Kielinger, fundierter Kenner der englischen Geschichte und Gegenwart, in dieser Analyse.
Thomas Kielinger, b. 1940 in Danzig (modern-day Gdansk), has lived in London since 1998, first as UK-correspondent of the German daily »Die Welt«, now as author of much-acclaimed studies of British history which he chronicled in »Kleine Geschichte Großbritanniens«. Biographies of Queen Elizabeth II and Winston Churchill followed, the latter also translated into Polish and Danish. His most recent book deals with the Tudor times: »Die Königin. Elizabeth I. und der Kampf um England.« Kielinger is honorary officer of the »Oder of the British Empire« (OBE) and holds the Federal Cross First Class of Germany. Queen Mary University London as well as the University of Cardiff awarded him an Honorary Fellowship.
