'How Netflix's 'The Crown' Changed the Duke of Edinburgh's Public Image'

Many of those mourning the death of Prince Philip may only know of him through Netflix's 'The Crown'.

The advent of the hit series in 2016 coincided with the Duke of Edinburgh's retirement from official duties a year later, and showed the public a different side to the man many had written off as insensitive and brash.

For younger generations, it was their first glimpse Philip as a devoted husband and servant to the UK.

If Diana could call him "Dearest Pa, " that tells me everything I need to know about Prince Philip. RIP

The way he supported Diana was something that only a gentleman could do

Watching the Crown made me like him so much. He sacrificed so much as a man and husband but most of all he told it as it is which made them upset.

Tbh, I didn't really know his roles and how much he had to sacrifice to support the Queen until I watched The Crown

R.I.P. His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. Condolences from India 🇮🇳!

Correction: Among many young westerners, Prince Philip had a reputation for his occasionally insensitive gaffes.

Young people here in the East aren't as soft as many young westerners.

Whenever you watch The Crown, REMEMBER that you're watching a DRAMA/TV SHOW not DOCUMENTARY film💯✨

RIP Duke of Edinburgh, did so much for this country

I really enjoyed the actor portraying HRH The Duke of Edinburgh and the writing on the show for his character— women in power often have a hard time with love — because of the nature of masculinity... it was fascinating watching this portrayed on the show. Of course, we have no idea what really went on in real life but I enjoyed it nonetheless. RIP.

People should stop watching fiction on Tv and open a history book.

I cannot believe that
It's like losing happiness

[j.ramerasinhhe]

May his soul R.I.P. God save the Queen & the Royal family.

[RozenHusky]

He's an excellent role model as a man.

To be honest it wasn't the crown. It was more dedication for 7 decades. This would have been said if His wife had passed as well. No one will ever have a job or a partner for 7 decades in today's life.

The crown changed my opinion on the duke
