Behind the scenes
Prince Philip was Queen Elizabeth II's husband. Additionally, he was the father of Prince Charles and Princess Anne and the grandfather of Prince William and Prince Harry. He died on the morning of 9 April, 2021.
Matt Smith, Tobias Menzies and Jonathan Pryce played Prince Philip in the Netflix original television series The Crown. Nicholas Le Prevost and Kenneth Colley portrayed him in the 2009 docudrama The Queen, David Quilter in Charles and Diana: Unhappily Ever After, and Donald Douglas in Diana: Her True Story. Jon Glover also voiced him in Spitting Image and Dan Stevens voiced him in the animated series The Prince.
ITV's animated comedy sketch series 2DTV humourously depicted Prince Philip and the Queen as still being alive for the latter's "Zirconium Jubilee" in 2052. Prince Philip is seen in a variant of Davros's chair which is coloured silver with blue sense globes like the silver Daleks as well as sporting "arms" in the place of two globes on the top ring like the Golden Emperor's Machine. The chair's right arm is a gunstick, opposite to the Dalek norm, whilst the left arm is an eyepiece complete with black insulator discs rather than a suction arm, with Philip lacking Davros's ocular system. Firing a conventional blue beam, Philip uses his gunstick to fire, whilst chanting "Exterminate! Exterminate" at a corgi which promptly flees.
