Prince Philip
Royal Household Mail. Seven ALS ('Philip') to Revd and Mrs Taylor sent during the Duke's naval career, dated 1933-1950. The first four date from his time at the R.N.

These are accompanied by a memo unsigned, dated 18th March 1947 advising of his naturalisation and new style - Lt. Philip Mountbatten, R.N. There are three others from Malta, one headed HMS Magpie (his only command) thanking the Taylors for their condolences on the death of his grandmother, and two others from Villa Guardamangia (one from his Equerry-in-Waiting).
