Philip: The Final Portrait 2021
Philip: The Final Portrait is a biographical work published in 2021 by English author and former politician Gyles Brandreth. It explores the life of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, and examines his marriage to Queen Elizabeth II, along with his connections to family, friends, and media. This edition updates Brandreth’s earlier 2004 book, Philip and Elizabeth: Portrait of a Marriage, adding new material related to the Duke's death and legacy.
Brandreth described his experience writing the book as a privilege, noting that he was granted special access and support over many years. The volume includes personal stories, correspondence between the Duke and the author, photographs from royal archives, and historical items such as a 11-year-old Princess Elizabeth’s account of her parents’ coronation.
The book was released in the United Kingdom on 27 April 2021 by Coronet Books, an imprint of Hodder & Stoughton. It contains 528 pages.
