He's a fantasy-loving man, and if you just met him you'll be attracted to the contagious power of his humor.
Can you imagine that the man in front of you riding a stroller full of innocence is a ruthless and unrighteous person, a person who does not love his family, or even betrays and abandons his wife who is a mess on the pillow?
In modern times, few people can recognize him, but if you say his name, Prince Andreas may be a lot of people will suddenly realize.
Because he was the father of Prince Philip and the prince of Greece and Denmark.
According to those who knew him well, Andrei was always personable in a suit and leather, funny and humorous, and he could take anything as a joke and even make mistakes because of it.
Although he is a military general, his innate noble temperament makes it impossible to associate with the warrior who cut through the thorns.
Usually he likes to wear gold wire glasses, the aristocratic temperament makes him add a bit of grace and elegance, and the melancholy temperament attracts the attention of many women.
In addition to inheriting the high appearance of his parents, Prince Philip also perfectly inherited his father's poisonous tongue, which also offended many people.
In 1903, André, the son of King George I of Greece, married the beautiful Princess Alice, the great-granddaughter of Victoria, the eldest daughter of Princess Alice and Prince Louis of Hesse and Rhine of Germany.
Their union, also known as the "Wedding of the Century", was funded by Tsar Nicholas II and attended by the elite of European royalty; the wedding was held.
It is said that during the honeymoon of the couple, Andre, who likes to make romance, gave a motorcycle to his wife, which was a fledgling means of transportation, which touched Princess Alice.
It didn't take long for the trouble to begin. George I was assassinated in 1913, and the Greek royal family was embroiled in strife, with his siblings either exiled or imprisoned.
He was nearly shot for disobeying orders, and it was at the mercy of George V that he was able to flee Greece.
In an interview about the incident, Andre joked: "Although I was exiled for the rest of my life, exile is better than stopping breathing." ”
Andrea, Alice and their five children eventually moved into a borrowed house.
As their daughters grew up, they had their own lives and families, and the family was torn apart by the turn of events.
In order to support her family, Princess Alice, who is deaf and mute, single-handedly shoulders the burden of the family, and eventually suffers from excessive pressure and her husband's betrayal, which leads to insanity.
Man can not be great, but he cannot be without responsibility.
Andre once joked: "He has enough money, he doesn't have to work." ”
In the most difficult moments, Prince André chose to escape from responsibility, escape from his family, and have fun with other women, and his marriage to Princess Alice has long existed in name only.
At a time when everyone was taking care of themselves, Philippe, who was only 10 years old, became the object of forgotten.
Between 1932 and 1937, Prince Philip did not receive any news of his mother for five years.
When he was strapped for cash, he would rely on selling property or relying on relatives for relief, and he would occasionally appear in his son's life.
He also warned his son that if he wanted to succeed, he had to become an outstanding person.
Otherwise, find someone to rely on, and spend his life full of food, which is a prophecy of God for Philip, and later he found the most reliable woman in all of England to marry.
In the last years of his life, Prince André spent time with his mistress, the Countess of De la Pinje.
In order to please this woman, he sold everything that could be sold, and even took his daughter's dowry and mistress to spend the day.
The man who had eroded half his life died of a heart attack in 1944, had been living for himself in the last stages of his life, and he never wanted to make up for his mistakes or what kind of life his son would live.
In the end, Andre left his son only a elephant toothbrush, a dress tailored for himself, and a family seal ring that Prince Philip wore on his hand from then until his death, in addition to leaving his son a £17,500 debt.
Prince Philip behaved, moved, stood, walked, and even laughed in exactly the same way as his father, as if carved out of a mold.
After leaving the psychiatric hospital, Princess Alice went to the other extreme, where she could have returned to England or stayed in France, but she chose to return to Greece, the place that had broken her heart.
In the end, she spent the rest of her life and money on charity, and spent the rest of her life in england in the last two years of her life when she was taken back to England by her daughter-in-law Elizabeth II.
