- ... that the Standard of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh (pictured) contains reference to Prince Philip's status as a former prince of Greece and Denmark and his Duke of Edinburgh title? Source: I News

There is a QPQ, its long enough and well reffed. Its neutral and the hook is reffed and interesting this week but maybe not so much in a months time (hint). The image has a free license as its considered to be public domain. Didnt notice any close paraphrasing. Nice work c of e. Victuallers (talk) 09:49, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
Origin
[edit]@The C of E: I think this article could benefit from a bit more clarity regarding the standard's origin and adoption – it seems a little contradictory to say in the infobox that it was adopted in 1947 even though it was only authorised in 1951. As per here, this version of Philip's coat of arms (which the standard is directly based on) was only designed in 1949 – not 1947, so I think the Royal Central source is incorrect in this regard. Also, the current version of the standard, without Elizabeth's own arms, was really only adopted in 1952. In any case, I don't think it's helpful to say that Philip's standard was itself designed; rather, his coat of arms were first adopted in 1947 and redesigned in 1949, and his standard reflected that accordingly. — RAVENPVFF · talk · 17:38, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
- I agree that the date is incorrect. As a personal banner of arms, the standard could not have been designed earlier than 1949. That is regardless of the source from Royal Central. It also more than likely did not come into use until the Queen's ascension to the throne. Lady Diana and the Dutchess of Cornwall did not/do not have separate standards, and wouldn't until Prince Charles becomes king. Fry1989 eh? 00:51, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
Name conventions
[edit]Why do we refer him consistently in the body text as Philip and in the gallery as the Duke? If there is a reason, then great ... if not, it seems odd. Cheers DBaK (talk) 11:33, 17 July 2022 (UTC)
