Most people are aware of the awards that share his name, but not
many people know that he helped found the World Wildlife Fund in
1961. Prince Philip was a great environmentalist also,
championing nature before it even became popular. He was not only
a founder of the World Wildlife Fund, he was also patron of
Fields in Trust and a whole raft of other nature conservation
charities. He was the first person to drive an electric car
around the streets of London, 10 years before the founder of
Tesla was even born. His Royal
Highness Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, will be deeply
missed by us all, and I join everyone in mourning the loss of
such a brilliant man and a great public servant. And may Her
Majesty find some comfort in the fact that her devoted husband
was loved by so many of us...
