It was not long ago that HRH The Duke of Edinburgh officiated the opening of Brighton i360, known as the world's first vertical cable car.  It is indeed and engineering breakthrough. Imagine watching south coast of England at 360-degree view from a 450ft. high venue? Quite fascinating, isn't it?

Prince Philip, has given part of his life to science studies. In fact, he just recently officiated the opening of the new science building of  University of Hertfordshire. The Duke of Edinburgh inspects the new facilities that include research, learning and events venues, not to mention the technology equipment for such activities, as published by Royal Central. 

The project costs  £50m and the university's 2020 milestone effort in leading the college's transformation into a much more futuristic approach that is expected to be dominating the world today. This is in line to the preparation needed to be done by educational sector to cope with the changing world, according to Review St Albans & Harpenden.

The Prince originated from Greece and was born in 1921. His family was exiled in England after the war broke out in Turkey. Still a baby by then, Prince Philip was brought safely in a cot disguised as a fruit box. His turbulent past include the separation of his parents and his mother's ending up at a psychiatric facility.

He became homeless and joined the Royal Navy in 1939. His skills at sea has been known at an early age of 18. The war was the way for him to meet the young Queen Elizabeth during his stint at Windsor. He then became a British subject after adopting the Mountbatten surname from his uncle and married the now Queen in 1947, as per the record of Radio Times. 

There might be intrigues thrown at the uncle of Prince Philip back then claiming that he was too ambitious to make sure that the royal marriage must take place. Judging from the outcome, the Queen is well loved and the British people have something to be thankful of to the Duke of Edinburgh - nothing bad can further be said against him.
