The REAL reason why Prince Philip was ‘VERY disappointed’ with Meghan Markle

He also changed his name from Philippos Andreou of Schleswig-​Holstein​-Sonderberg-Glücksburg to Mountbatten.

Philip experienced further turbulence once Elizabeth unexpectedly ascended to the throne at just 25 years old following the sudden death of King George VI.
The Duke had to leave behind his successful career in the Royal Navy to take up new duties as the consort to the Queen.

Writing in her biography of their marriage – titled Elizabeth And Philip – Tessa Dunlop noted that Philip said he would not receive the title of Prince Consort that Albert was given, appreciating that ‘times had changed’.
Philip was less understanding of the proposed plan for the Queen to break royal tradition and retain Windsor as the name of the royal house. He wished her to take on his surname, but Prime Minister Winston Churchill, under the behest of Elizabeth’s grandmother Queen Mary, insisted that Windsor must stay.
A compromise was sought where, rather than taking on the Mountbatten name, the family could become known as the House of Edinburgh. ‘Philip wasn’t fussed over which name, so long as it was his name,’ Dunlop wrote.
But his wish was not granted and Windsor remained the family name.
