Prince Philip turned 99 earlier in June. In the seven decades of his royal life, he, reportedly, gave all of his efforts and skills for the sake of the Queen, and the British Monarchy. This is why it is not surprising why experts and fans deem him as one of the "most hardworking" British Royals.

While there is no question about his dedication to the Crown, he reportedly met with several challenges, especially when he first joined the royal fold. As stated, he gave up everything, including even his name, when he married the then-Princess Elizabeth in 1947, according to the Daily Express.

Before marrying the now-head of the British Monarchy, Prince Philip "renounced" his royal titles as the Prince of Green and Denmark. As noted, he is a royal-born Prince from a different monarchy.

In relinquishing his titles, he reportedly utilized his maternal grandparent's surname, Mountbatten. While, at first, things went well for the couple, a royal precedent "angered" the young Duke of Edinburgh, as per claims.

Sources then explained that, since his wife is set to become the Queen of the United Kingdom, their kids, who are the heirs of the then-future Queen, would not be allowed to carry his surname. In short, he could not name his own kids with his own name as a Mountbatten.

In 1952, when King George VI passed away, Prince Philip's wife automatically became the head of the British Monarchy. During the same year, she reportedly announced that the British Royal Family's surname will be Windsor, and not Mountbatten.

With this decision, sources said that the Duke of Edinburgh got mad and furious, and even shouted to his wife that he is "just a bloody amoeba." He then reportedly asserted that he is the only man in the United Kingdom who could not give his own name to his kids.

A few years, later, however, Queen Elizabeth II seemingly acknowledged her husband's take on the matter. Instead of Windsor, the British Royal Family's surname became Mountbatten-Windsor.

The publication, then, explained that the British Royals who do not have titles will automatically use this specific surname. In today's period, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's son, Archie Harrison, is the only royal great-grandson in the direct line of succession who does not have a royal title. Therefore, his complete name is Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor.

Despite the Queen's reported offer to give Sussex's firstborn a royal title, the Duke and Duchess reportedly declined and turned her down. Some sources then said that the couple likely gave a "nod" to Prince Philip because they will be using the family's surname.
