The Queen could soon be serving Windsor fizz
NEWS: goo.gl/a3kAcQ
The Vines stretch down the south-facing slope towards the lake, 20,000 of them laid out in perfect rows.
A tall, shiny wire fence ensures that the local deer herd hasn't the slightest chance of chomping this crop of top-quality chardonnay, pinot noir and pinot meunier grapes.
It's exactly the same blend of grapes you will find growing in similar French countryside around Epernay and Reims, the region which gives its name to the world's most famous sparkling wine, Champagne.
Except I am 300 miles from Reims - in a very private corner of the Queen's back garden. I have come to inspect the latest project in the Royal Family's unexpectedly varied agricultural repertoire.
If everything goes according to plan - and, so far, it has - then it won't be long before Windsor Great Park is producing a quality Champagne-style wine of sufficient calibre to be served at royal occasions and state banquets.
Just imagine the look on the face of a future French President as the Queen raises a toast to the entente cordiale with a glass of sparkling Windsor wine.
A few years ago, the very idea would have met with guffaws. But English wine is no longer a laughing matter as it trounces the grandest names in Champagne in more and more blind tastings by industry professionals.
It's certainly been a frantic couple of weeks for this fledgling industry. A few days ago, the UK Vineyard Association marked its 50th anniversary in bullish mood with a party at Clarence House hosted by the Duchess of Cornwall.
The same week, some of its members applied for official recognition and protection of the generic name, 'British Fizz'.
Having already upset the European hierarchy with last year's EU referendum, the UK is now putting more continental noses out of joint. Last week, it emerged that Britain's largest wine producer, Chapel Down, has just signed a distribution deal in France, of all places.
After all, several famous French champagne houses have started buying up land in South-East England as global warming nudges perfect growing conditions over the Channel.
Then came news that, having been launched with no fanfare at all, the first trial run of Windsor wine had been a great success.
What's more, two members of the Royal Household Wine Committee, which advises the Queen on what to serve at royal events, already want to recommend it for inclusion in the royal cellars.
Chateau Windsor - as it is not called but will surely be known - is all being made under the careful auspices of a local boy who has gone on to be a global giant in the wine trade. And he is doing it with help from some of the most famous names in the business.
There is certainly no shortage of expertise. This is a wine designed to hold its own against stiff competition, not trade on its royal connections. So I have come to a corner of royal Berkshire that has serious ambitions to compete with historic names such as Taittinger and Bollinger - egged on by the Duke of Edinburgh.
The new Windsor Great Park Vineyard Brut follows a pattern of innovation going back to the start of this reign. On her accession to the throne - 65 years ago on Monday - the Queen put the Duke of Edinburgh in charge of her estates at Balmoral and Sandringham.
She also appointed him as Ranger of the Great Park, custodian of the 5,000 acres of Crown Estate land to the south of Windsor Castle.
Under the Duke's supervision, Sandringham is a major supplier of blackcurrants to Ribena. He has also opened an apple juice factory there that now distributes across Britain.
The Duke has even attempted an experimental truffle farm nearby, with mixed results.
And at Windsor the farm shop he created sells lamb, beef, venison, game and other produce from the royal farms and their neighbours. But this is the first time in centuries that Windsor has made wine.
It is being overseen by one of Britain's foremost wine merchants. And Tony Laithwaite is every bit as excited about this venture as he was when he embarked on a career in wine in Bordeaux in 1969. Back then, he had little more than a van and a few cases of claret. Today, most adults in this country will probably have drunk some of his wine at some point.
With his wife, Barbara, he has created Britain's biggest wine business and an international network of wine clubs which have sold many millions of bottles worldwide. A lot will have been produced from his own vineyards, scattered around the globe.
Mr Laithwaite, 71, and his family still live not far from Windsor, where he went to school and where he set up his first shop. So when the Duke of Edinburgh and his Crown Estate team were considering new ideas for the park, including a vineyard, Tony was an obvious potential tenant.

The finest consort since Prince Albert: They both elevated young Queens to greatness. But here, ROBERT HARDMAN reveals that’s just one of the uncanny parallels between two royal titans.
Driving me around the Windsor estate a few years ago, the Duke of Edinburgh was in full flow as he pointed to one landmark after another.
‘You can see Prince Consort’s Farm has remained, externally, the same as Prince Albert built it,’ he mused, before pointing in the opposite direction, adding: ‘Great place for crows, this.’
On we drove, past the farms designed by ‘Farmer George’, King George III, past the Frogmore gardens designed by Queen Charlotte, past the mausoleum built by Queen Victoria — ‘the family burial plot’ as the Duke called it — and so much else.
We were making a documentary about Windsor. But it soon dawned on me that so much of the landscape was actually down to the Duke himself: the tree plantations, a new deer herd and the Guards Polo Club, the international polo venue he built on the disused wartime airstrip at Smith’s Lawn.
As well as being the longest-serving Ranger of Windsor Great Park in history, he is also the first member of the Royal Family to open a shop. ‘About 30 years ago I suggested that we should have a plucking and packing facility for game,’ he told me.
‘Then this business of farm shops came along, so we converted the potting sheds into a farm shop.’
Weaving his way past the gobsmacked queue at the shop’s meat counter, the Duke gave us a swift retail masterclass: ‘Stuff grown here that was not [financially] viable when it went to the open market is viable now that it’s got an outlet. By taking out the middleman, it becomes more efficient. You can get lots of customers but if you don’t price it right, you lose money . . .’
It has often been said that if the Duke had not been married to the Queen, he would have risen to the top of the Royal Navy. But it might equally be argued that he would have had similar success as a businessman, engineer or headmaster.
Here is a man with a sharp intellect, a quizzical mind and a love of innovation, be it installing some of the first solar panels in Britain, planting an experimental truffle farm in Norfolk, driving around in one of Britain’s first electric cars, installing one of the earliest desktop computers, taking his entire office to try Heston Blumenthal’s latest experimental menu or being the first royal television presenter.
The list goes on and on. Because during a life just five years short of a century, there has seldom been a moment when the Duke has not been thinking about what to do next. That is why yesterday’s announcement was such big news.
For it is no exaggeration to say that the results of this restless innovation have been global. In the early Sixties, for example, it was the Duke who played a central role in the creation of the World Wildlife Fund, paving the way for organisations such as Greenpeace and helping to kick-start an entire environmental movement.
His Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, established more than 60 years ago in the teeth of opposition from a very sniffy Establishment — who thought it would undermine the Boy Scouts — has been adopted all over the world. Even in countries with no British connection, millions of young people have been the beneficiaries of his scheme for boosting youthful self-esteem.

Prince Philip was once described by the Queen as "my strength and stay all these years" and his lifetime of public service is testimony to that.
When the Duke of Edinburgh does finally stand down from his royal duties this autumn, it will bring to a close the decades of him being at Her Majesty's side at all kinds of events at home and abroad.
And that is not to mention the 22,191 solo engagements he has undertaken in his role as the longest-serving consort in British history.
He is involved with more than 780 different organisations. When he reached the grand old age of 90, his only concession to his passing years was that he gave up his connections to about a dozen of them.
One of the most successful associations has been with the Duke of Edinburgh's Award, a youth self-improvement scheme, which began in 1956.
But in an interview with the BBC's Fiona Bruce when he turned 90, the Duke said he could not take credit for the highly successful scheme.
"I don't run it - I've said it's all fairly second-hand the whole business. I mean, I eventually got landed with the responsibility or the credit for it.
"I've got no reason to be proud of it. It's satisfying that we've set up a formula that works - that's it."
Conservation role
His reluctance to claim credit for that scheme resonates with what the Queen said of him in a speech when celebrating their golden wedding anniversary in 1997.
She described him as "someone who doesn't take easily to compliments, but he has, quite simply, been my strength and stay all these years, and I and his whole family, in this and many other countries, owe him a debt greater than he would ever claim or we shall ever know".
In 1961 the duke became the first president of the World Wildlife Fund UK, but then faced criticism over his shooting of a tiger while in India that same year.
He eventually became the organisation's international president in 1981.
The Greek-born prince's life of service to the UK began when he joined up with the Royal Navy in 1939.
He saw active service in World War Two, from the Indian Ocean to the Mediterranean, being mentioned in despatches for his service on battleship HMS Valiant in 1941.
By that time he had met his distant cousin, Princess Elizabeth. Their friendship blossomed into love and they married in 1947, at which point he renounced his Greek title to become a naturalised British subject, and was made Duke of Edinburgh by King George VI.
Prince Philip's naval career, which saw the newly-married couple stationed in Malta, ended when George VI died in February 1952, and the princess became Queen.
Now Prince Philip had a new role, accompanying Her Majesty around the world, on Commonwealth tours, state visits and trips across the UK.
That globetrotting has seen him visit 143 countries in an official capacity in the decades that followed.
And the prince is credited with helping to save engineering in Britain in the 1970s, being described as playing a vital role in creating a national engineering academy.
In 2015 he told the BBC that after World War Two the UK was "completely skint - it seemed to me that the only way we were going to recover was through engineering".
When talking about a footman training programme which he began at the Palace, he said: "I tried to find useful things to do."
And he oversaw the modernisation of Buckingham Palace, as well as reorganising the Balmoral and Sandringham estates and becoming ranger of Windsor Great Park.
He played polo regularly until 1971 and then took up four-in-hand carriage driving, representing Britain at several European and world championships. He competed at international level carriage events until the age of 85.
And he became a qualified pilot, gaining his RAF wings in 1953, helicopter wings in 1956 and private pilot's licence in 1959. He also kept up his love for the sea, competing regularly at Cowes Regatta.

This is why you should try the challenging stuff with a mate :-)
TJ's Fourby Park is located of the Putty Rd, a good hour north of Windsor, NSW, Australia
Great for camping in a great natural setting and enjoying a proper bit offroading.
It is a work in progress so you will find new tracks every time you come back.
If you feel adventurous you could venture out and create a challenging track or two.
Or you could just having a quiet time overlooking the river and catching up with some mates around the camp fire.
I am not affiliated with this park or any other park we visit so not trying to sell it being better than it is. But I am pretty sure you would have a great weekend, highly recommended!
To book, search TJ's 4B Park on Facebook (or google) to contact the friendly owners.

Windsor Great Park
Windsor Great Park (locally referred to simply as the Great Park) is a large park of 2020 hectares (20.2 square kilometres (5,000 acres)), including a deer park, to the south of the town of Windsor on the border of Berkshire and Surrey in England. The park was, for many centuries, the private hunting ground of Windsor Castle and dates primarily from the mid-13th century. Now largely open to the public (though not publicly funded), albeit running at a loss "...the annual gross deficit, which is down from £1.6 million in 2006 to £0.5 million in 2015..."-, the parkland is often open as a recreation area for visitors between dawn and dusk. It is owned and managed by the Crown Estate and historically covered many times its area as Windsor Forest, Windsor Royal Park or its current name.
The park is Grade I listed on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens.

Duke of Edinburgh
Duke of Edinburgh, named after the city of Edinburgh, Scotland, is a title that has been created four times for members of the British royal family since 1726. The current holder is the Prince Philip, consort to Queen Elizabeth II.
1726 creation
The title was first created in the Peerage of Great Britain on 26 July 1726 by George I, who bestowed it on his grandson Prince Frederick, who also became Prince of Wales the following year. The subsidiary titles of the dukedom were Baron of Snowdon, in the County of Caernarvon, Viscount of Launceston, in the County of Cornwall, Earl of Eltham, in the County of Kent, and Marquess of the Isle of Ely. These titles were also in the Peerage of Great Britain. The marquessate was apparently erroneously gazetted as Marquess of the Isle of Wight although Marquess of the Isle of Ely was the intended title. In later editions of the London Gazette the Duke is referred to as the Marquess of the Isle of Ely. Upon Frederick's death, the titles were inherited by his son Prince George. When Prince George became King George III in 1760, the titles "merged into the Crown", and ceased to exist.

Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh
Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh (born Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark on 10 June 1921) is the husband of Queen Elizabeth II. He is the longest-serving consort of a reigning British monarch and the oldest-ever male member of the British royal family.
A member of the House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg, Philip was born into the Greek and Danish royal families. He was born in Greece but his family was exiled from the country when he was still an infant. After being educated in France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, he joined the British Royal Navy in 1939, at the age of 18. From July 1939, he began corresponding with the 13-year-old Princess Elizabeth (his third cousin through Queen Victoria and second cousin once removed through Christian IX of Denmark) whom he had first met in 1934. During World War II he served with the Mediterranean and Pacific fleets.
After the war, Philip was granted permission by George VI to marry Elizabeth. Before the official announcement of their engagement, he abandoned his Greek and Danish royal titles and became a naturalised British subject, adopting the surname Mountbatten from his maternal grandparents. After an engagement of five months, he married Elizabeth on 20 November 1947. Just before the wedding, the King granted him the style of "His Royal Highness" and the title Duke of Edinburgh. Philip left active military service when Elizabeth became Queen in 1952, having reached the rank of commander. His wife made him a prince of the United Kingdom in 1957.

Prince Philip: A duty to Queen and country | | Why is prince Phillip not kingPrince Philip: A duty to Queen and country | | Why is prince Phillip not king
Prince Philip was once described by the Queen as "my strength and stay all these years" and his lifetime of public service is testimony to that. When the Duke of Edinburgh does finally stand down from his royal duties this autumn, it will bring to a close the decades of him being at Her Majesty's side at all kinds of events at home and abroad. And that is not to mention the 22,191 solo engagements he has undertaken in his role as the longest-serving consort in British history. He is involved with more than 780 different organisations. When he reached the grand old age of 90, his only concession to his passing years was that he gave up his connections to about a dozen of them. One of the most successful associations has been with the Duke of Edinburgh's Award, a youth self-improvement scheme, which began in 1956. But in an interview with the BBC's Fiona Bruce when he turned 90, the Duke said he could not take credit for the highly successful scheme. "I don't run it - I've said it's all fairly second-hand the whole business. I mean, I eventually got landed with the responsibility or the credit for it. "I've got no reason to be proud of it. It's satisfying that we've set up a formula that works - that's it." Conservation role His reluctance to claim credit for that scheme resonates with what the Queen said of him in a speech when celebrating their golden wedding anniversary in 1997. She described him as "someone who doesn't take easily to compliments, but he has, quite simply, been my strength and stay all these years, and I and his whole family, in this and many other countries, owe him a debt greater than he would ever claim or we shall ever know". In 1961 the duke became the first president of the World Wildlife Fund UK, but then faced criticism over his shooting of a tiger while in India that same year. He eventually became the organisation's international president in 1981. The Greek-born prince's life of service to the UK began when he joined up with the Royal Navy in 1939. He saw active service in World War Two, from the Indian Ocean to the Mediterranean, being mentioned in despatches for his service on battleship HMS Valiant in 1941. By that time he had met his distant cousin, Princess Elizabeth. Their friendship blossomed into love and they married in 1947, at which point he renounced his Greek title to become a naturalised British subject, and was made Duke of Edinburgh by King George VI. Prince Philip's naval career, which saw the newly-married couple stationed in Malta, ended when George VI died in February 1952, and the princess became Queen. Now Prince Philip had a new role, accompanying Her Majesty around the world, on Commonwealth tours, state visits and trips across the UK. That globetrotting has seen him visit 143 countries in an official capacity in the decades that followed. And the prince is credited with helping to save engineering in Britain in the 1970s, being described as playing a vital role in creating a national engineering academy. In 2015 he told the BBC that after World War Two the UK was "completely skint - it seemed to me that the only way we were going to recover was through engineering". When talking about a footman training programme which he began at the Palace, he said: "I tried to find useful things to do." And he oversaw the modernisation of Buckingham Palace, as well as reorganising the Balmoral and Sandringham estates and becoming ranger of Windsor Great Park. He played polo regularly until 1971 and then took up four-in-hand carriage driving, representing Britain at several European and world championships. He competed at international level carriage events until the age of 85. And he became a qualified pilot, gaining his RAF wings in 1953, helicopter wings in 1956 and private pilot's licence in 1959. He also kept up his love for the sea, competing regularly at Cowes Regatta. ============ Thanks for watching the video!

The Queen could soon be serving Windsor fizz
NEWS: goo.gl/a3kAcQ
The Vines stretch down the south-facing slope towards the lake, 20,000 of them laid out in perfect rows.
A tall, shiny wire fence ensures that the local deer herd hasn't the slightest chance of chomping this crop of top-quality chardonnay, pinot noir and pinot meunier grapes.
It's exactly the same blend of grapes you will find growing in similar French countryside around Epernay and Reims, the region which gives its name to the world's most famous sparkling wine, Champagne.
Except I am 300 miles from Reims - in a very private corner of the Queen's back garden. I have come to inspect the latest project in the Royal Family's unexpectedly varied agricultural repertoire.
If everything goes according to plan - and, so far, it has - then it won't be long before Windsor Great Park is producing a quality Champagne-style wine of sufficient calibre to be served at royal occasions and state banquets.
Just imagine the look on the face of a future French President as the Queen raises a toast to the entente cordiale with a glass of sparkling Windsor wine.
A few years ago, the very idea would have met with guffaws. But English wine is no longer a laughing matter as it trounces the grandest names in Champagne in more and more blind tastings by industry professionals.
It's certainly been a frantic couple of weeks for this fledgling industry. A few days ago, the UK Vineyard Association marked its 50th anniversary in bullish mood with a party at Clarence House hosted by the Duchess of Cornwall.
The same week, some of its members applied for official recognition and protection of the generic name, 'British Fizz'.
Having already upset the European hierarchy with last year's EU referendum, the UK is now putting more continental noses out of joint. Last week, it emerged that Britain's largest wine producer, Chapel Down, has just signed a distribution deal in France, of all places.
After all, several famous French champagne houses have started buying up land in South-East England as global warming nudges perfect growing conditions over the Channel.
Then came news that, having been launched with no fanfare at all, the first trial run of Windsor wine had been a great success.
What's more, two members of the Royal Household Wine Committee, which advises the Queen on what to serve at royal events, already want to recommend it for inclusion in the royal cellars.
Chateau Windsor - as it is not called but will surely be known - is all being made under the careful auspices of a local boy who has gone on to be a global giant in the wine trade. And he is doing it with help from some of the most famous names in the business.
There is certainly no shortage of expertise. This is a wine designed to hold its own against stiff competition, not trade on its royal connections. So I have come to a corner of royal Berkshire that has serious ambitions to compete with historic names such as Taittinger and Bollinger - egged on by the Duke of Edinburgh.
The new Windsor Great Park Vineyard Brut follows a pattern of innovation going back to the start of this reign. On her accession to the throne - 65 years ago on Monday - the Queen put the Duke of Edinburgh in charge of her estates at Balmoral and Sandringham.
She also appointed him as Ranger of the Great Park, custodian of the 5,000 acres of Crown Estate land to the south of Windsor Castle.
Under the Duke's supervision, Sandringham is a major supplier of blackcurrants to Ribena. He has also opened an apple juice factory there that now distributes across Britain.
The Duke has even attempted an experimental truffle farm nearby, with mixed results.
And at Windsor the farm shop he created sells lamb, beef, venison, game and other produce from the royal farms and their neighbours. But this is the first time in centuries that Windsor has made wine.
It is being overseen by one of Britain's foremost wine merchants. And Tony Laithwaite is every bit as excited about this venture as he was when he embarked on a career in wine in Bordeaux in 1969. Back then, he had little more than a van and a few cases of claret. Today, most adults in this country will probably have drunk some of his wine at some point.
With his wife, Barbara, he has created Britain's biggest wine business and an international network of wine clubs which have sold many millions of bottles worldwide. A lot will have been produced from his own vineyards, scattered around the globe.
Mr Laithwaite, 71, and his family still live not far from Windsor, where he went to school and where he set up his first shop. So when the Duke of Edinburgh and his Crown Estate team were considering new ideas for the park, including a vineyard, Tony was an obvious potential tenant.

The finest consort since Prince Albert: They both elevated young Queens to greatness. But here, ROBERT HARDMAN reveals that’s just one of the uncanny parallels between two royal titans.
Driving me around the Windsor estate a few years ago, the Duke of Edinburgh was in full flow as he pointed to one landmark after another.
‘You can see Prince Consort’s Farm has remained, externally, the same as Prince Albert built it,’ he mused, before pointing in the opposite direction, adding: ‘Great place for crows, this.’
On we drove, past the farms designed by ‘Farmer George’, King George III, past the Frogmore gardens designed by Queen Charlotte, past the mausoleum built by Queen Victoria — ‘the family burial plot’ as the Duke called it — and so much else.
We were making a documentary about Windsor. But it soon dawned on me that so much of the landscape was actually down to the Duke himself: the tree plantations, a new deer herd and the Guards Polo Club, the international polo venue he built on the disused wartime airstrip at Smith’s Lawn.
As well as being the longest-serving Ranger of Windsor Great Park in history, he is also the first member of the Royal Family to open a shop. ‘About 30 years ago I suggested that we should have a plucking and packing facility for game,’ he told me.
‘Then this business of farm shops came along, so we converted the potting sheds into a farm shop.’
Weaving his way past the gobsmacked queue at the shop’s meat counter, the Duke gave us a swift retail masterclass: ‘Stuff grown here that was not [financially] viable when it went to the open market is viable now that it’s got an outlet. By taking out the middleman, it becomes more efficient. You can get lots of customers but if you don’t price it right, you lose money . . .’
It has often been said that if the Duke had not been married to the Queen, he would have risen to the top of the Royal Navy. But it might equally be argued that he would have had similar success as a businessman, engineer or headmaster.
Here is a man with a sharp intellect, a quizzical mind and a love of innovation, be it installing some of the first solar panels in Britain, planting an experimental truffle farm in Norfolk, driving around in one of Britain’s first electric cars, installing one of the earliest desktop computers, taking his entire office to try Heston Blumenthal’s latest experimental menu or being the first royal television presenter.
The list goes on and on. Because during a life just five years short of a century, there has seldom been a moment when the Duke has not been thinking about what to do next. That is why yesterday’s announcement was such big news.
For it is no exaggeration to say that the results of this restless innovation have been global. In the early Sixties, for example, it was the Duke who played a central role in the creation of the World Wildlife Fund, paving the way for organisations such as Greenpeace and helping to kick-start an entire environmental movement.
His Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, established more than 60 years ago in the teeth of opposition from a very sniffy Establishment — who thought it would undermine the Boy Scouts — has been adopted all over the world. Even in countries with no British connection, millions of young people have been the beneficiaries of his scheme for boosting youthful self-esteem.

Prince Philip was once described by the Queen as "my strength and stay all these years" and his lifetime of public service is testimony to that.
When the Duke of Edinburgh does finally stand down from his royal duties this autumn, it will bring to a close the decades of him being at Her Majesty's side at all kinds of events at home and abroad.
And that is not to mention the 22,191 solo engagements he has undertaken in his role as the longest-serving consort in British history.
He is involved with more than 780 different organisations. When he reached the grand old age of 90, his only concession to his passing years was that he gave up his connections to about a dozen of them.
One of the most successful associations has been with the Duke of Edinburgh's Award, a youth self-improvement scheme, which began in 1956.
But in an interview with the BBC's Fiona Bruce when he turned 90, the Duke said he could not take credit for the highly successful scheme.
"I don't run it - I've said it's all fairly second-hand the whole business. I mean, I eventually got landed with the responsibility or the credit for it.
"I've got no reason to be proud of it. It's satisfying that we've set up a formula that works - that's it."
Conservation role
His reluctance to claim credit for that scheme resonates with what the Queen said of him in a speech when celebrating their golden wedding anniversary in 1997.
She described him as "someone who doesn't take easily to compliments, but he has, quite simply, been my strength and stay all these years, and I and his whole family, in this and many other countries, owe him a debt greater than he would ever claim or we shall ever know".
In 1961 the duke became the first president of the World Wildlife Fund UK, but then faced criticism over his shooting of a tiger while in India that same year.
He eventually became the organisation's international president in 1981.
The Greek-born prince's life of service to the UK began when he joined up with the Royal Navy in 1939.
He saw active service in World War Two, from the Indian Ocean to the Mediterranean, being mentioned in despatches for his service on battleship HMS Valiant in 1941.
By that time he had met his distant cousin, Princess Elizabeth. Their friendship blossomed into love and they married in 1947, at which point he renounced his Greek title to become a naturalised British subject, and was made Duke of Edinburgh by King George VI.
Prince Philip's naval career, which saw the newly-married couple stationed in Malta, ended when George VI died in February 1952, and the princess became Queen.
Now Prince Philip had a new role, accompanying Her Majesty around the world, on Commonwealth tours, state visits and trips across the UK.
That globetrotting has seen him visit 143 countries in an official capacity in the decades that followed.
And the prince is credited with helping to save engineering in Britain in the 1970s, being described as playing a vital role in creating a national engineering academy.
In 2015 he told the BBC that after World War Two the UK was "completely skint - it seemed to me that the only way we were going to recover was through engineering".
When talking about a footman training programme which he began at the Palace, he said: "I tried to find useful things to do."
And he oversaw the modernisation of Buckingham Palace, as well as reorganising the Balmoral and Sandringham estates and becoming ranger of Windsor Great Park.
He played polo regularly until 1971 and then took up four-in-hand carriage driving, representing Britain at several European and world championships. He competed at international level carriage events until the age of 85.
And he became a qualified pilot, gaining his RAF wings in 1953, helicopter wings in 1956 and private pilot's licence in 1959. He also kept up his love for the sea, competing regularly at Cowes Regatta.

This is why you should try the challenging stuff with a mate :-)
TJ's Fourby Park is located of the Putty Rd, a good hour north of Windsor, NSW, Australia
Great for camping in a great natural setting and enjoying a proper bit offroading.
It is a work in progress so you will find new tracks every time you come back.
If you feel adventurous you could venture out and create a challenging track or two.
Or you could just having a quiet time overlooking the river and catching up with some mates around the camp fire.
I am not affiliated with this park or any other park we visit so not trying to sell it being better than it is. But I am pretty sure you would have a great weekend, highly recommended!
To book, search TJ's 4B Park on Facebook (or google) to contact the friendly owners.

Visitor Vids tourist guide to Windsor, England. Make the most of your day out with our brand new, two minute guide to the top visitor attractions in Windsor.
The Royal Borough of Windsor, a beautiful, historic riverside town is situated some 30 miles west of London.
A must-see is Windsor Castle, Her Majesty the Queen’s favourite weekend retreat. It’s the largest and oldest inhabited castle in the world, the family home of British kings and queens for almost 1,000 years.
In the grounds you’ll find St George’s Chapel, founded in 1348 by Henry 111.
Look to see if the Royal Standard is flying from the Round Tower – this means the Queen is in residence.
Watch for the changing of the guard ceremony – a colourful display of British pageantry.
The Great Park, the private hunting ground of Windsor Castle, dates from the 13th century. The avenue of trees, known as the Long Walk, offers beautiful views of the castle and park.
Windsor is a vibrant market town with a wide range of shops and restaurants. Walk past the Guildhall, the town hall of Windsor. Here in 2005 Charles, Prince of Wales married Camilla Parker Bowles. That year the Guildhall also hosted the same sex civil partnership ceremony between Sir Elton John and David Furnish.
A stroll to the river via the shops brings you to the beautiful river Thames and Windsor Bridge. On the left bank you’ll find Eton, with its famous college, founded in 1440 by Henry IV, where many famous people in the public eye have been educated.
Further afield you’ll find Legoland, which appeals to children of all ages.
From the bridge look back to the town and the magnificent castle which dominates it.

It's exactly the same blend of grapes you will find growing in similar French countryside around Epernay and Reims, the region which gives its name to the world's most famous sparkling wine, Champagne.

The finest consort since Prince Albert: They both elevated young Queens to greatness.
The finest consort since Prince Albert: They both elevated young Queens to greatness. But here, ROBERT HARDMAN reveals that’s just one of the uncanny parallels between two royal titans. Driving me around the Windsor estate a few years ago, the Duke of Edinburgh was in full flow as he pointed to one landmark after another. ‘You can see Prince Consort’s Farm has remained, externally, the same as Prince Albert built it,’ he mused, before pointing in the opposite direction, adding: ‘Great place for crows, this.’ On we drove, past the farms designed by ‘Farmer George’, King George III, past the Frogmore gardens designed by Queen Charlotte, past the mausoleum built by Queen Victoria — ‘the family burial plot’ as the Duke called it — and so much else. We were making a documentary about Windsor. B...

Prince Philip was once described by the Queen as "my strength and stay all these years" and his lifetime of public service is testimony to that. When the Duke of Edinburgh does finally stand down from his royal duties this autumn, it will bring to a close the decades of him being at Her Majesty's side at all kinds of events at home and abroad. And that is not to mention the 22,191 solo engagements he has undertaken in his role as the longest-serving consort in British history. He is involved with more than 780 different organisations. When he reached the grand old age of 90, his only concession to his passing years was that he gave up his connections to about a dozen of them. One of the most successful associations has been with the Duke of Edinburgh's Award, a youth self-improvement s...

Perentie recovery at TJ's
This is why you should try the challenging stuff with a mate :-) TJ's Fourby Park is located of the Putty Rd, a good hour north of Windsor, NSW, Australia Great for camping in a great natural setting and enjoying a proper bit offroading. It is a work in progress so you will find new tracks every time you come back. If you feel adventurous you could venture out and create a challenging track or two. Or you could just having a quiet time overlooking the river and catching up with some mates around the camp fire. I am not affiliated with this park or any other park we visit so not trying to sell it being better than it is. But I am pretty sure you would have a great weekend, highly recommended! To book, search TJ's 4B Park on Facebook (or google) to contact the friendly owners. If you ...

The Queen could soon be serving Windsor fizz
NEWS: goo.gl/a3kAcQ
The Vines stretch down the south-facing slope towards the lake, 20,000 of them laid out in perfect rows.
A tall, shiny wire fence ensures that the local deer herd hasn't the slightest chance of chomping this crop of top-quality chardonnay, pinot noir and pinot meunier grapes.
It's exactly the same blend of grapes you will find growing in similar French countryside around Epernay and Reims, the region which gives its name to the world's most famous sparkling wine, Champagne.
Except I am 300 miles from Reims - in a very private corner of the Queen's back garden. I have come to inspect the latest project in the Royal Family's unexpectedly varied agricultural repertoire.
If everything goes according to plan - and, so far, it has - then it won't be long before Windsor Great Park is producing a quality Champagne-style wine of sufficient calibre to be served at royal occasions and state banquets.
Just imagine the look on the face of a future French President as the Queen raises a toast to the entente cordiale with a glass of sparkling Windsor wine.
A few years ago, the very idea would have met with guffaws. But English wine is no longer a laughing matter as it trounces the grandest names in Champagne in more and more blind tastings by industry professionals.
It's certainly been a frantic couple of weeks for this fledgling industry. A few days ago, the UK Vineyard Association marked its 50th anniversary in bullish mood with a party at Clarence House hosted by the Duchess of Cornwall.
The same week, some of its members applied for official recognition and protection of the generic name, 'British Fizz'.
Having already upset the European hierarchy with last year's EU referendum, the UK is now putting more continental noses out of joint. Last week, it emerged that Britain's largest wine producer, Chapel Down, has just signed a distribution deal in France, of all places.
After all, several famous French champagne houses have started buying up land in South-East England as global warming nudges perfect growing conditions over the Channel.
Then came news that, having been launched with no fanfare at all, the first trial run of Windsor wine had been a great success.
What's more, two members of the Royal Household Wine Committee, which advises the Queen on what to serve at royal events, already want to recommend it for inclusion in the royal cellars.
Chateau Windsor - as it is not called but will surely be known - is all being made under the careful auspices of a local boy who has gone on to be a global giant in the wine trade. And he is doing it with help from some of the most famous names in the business.
There is certainly no shortage of expertise. This is a wine designed to hold its own against stiff competition, not trade on its royal connections. So I have come to a corner of royal Berkshire that has serious ambitions to compete with historic names such as Taittinger and Bollinger - egged on by the Duke of Edinburgh.
The new Windsor Great Park Vineyard Brut follows a pattern of innovation going back to the start of this reign. On her accession to the throne - 65 years ago on Monday - the Queen put the Duke of Edinburgh in charge of her estates at Balmoral and Sandringham.
She also appointed him as Ranger of the Great Park, custodian of the 5,000 acres of Crown Estate land to the south of Windsor Castle.
Under the Duke's supervision, Sandringham is a major supplier of blackcurrants to Ribena. He has also opened an apple juice factory there that now distributes across Britain.
The Duke has even attempted an experimental truffle farm nearby, with mixed results.
And at Windsor the farm shop he created sells lamb, beef, venison, game and other produce from the royal farms and their neighbours. But this is the first time in centuries that Windsor has made wine.
It is being overseen by one of Britain's foremost wine merchants. And Tony Laithwaite is every bit as excited about this venture as he was when he embarked on a career in wine in Bordeaux in 1969. Back then, he had little more than a van and a few cases of claret. Today, most adults in this country will probably have drunk some of his wine at some point.
With his wife, Barbara, he has created Britain's biggest wine business and an international network of wine clubs which have sold many millions of bottles worldwide. A lot will have been produced from his own vineyards, scattered around the globe.
Mr Laithwaite, 71, and his family still live not far from Windsor, where he went to school and where he set up his first shop. So when the Duke of Edinburgh and his Crown Estate team were considering new ideas for the park, including a vineyard, Tony was an obvious potential tenant.

The finest consort since Prince Albert: They both elevated young Queens to greatness. But here, ROBERT HARDMAN reveals that’s just one of the uncanny parallels between two royal titans.
Driving me around the Windsor estate a few years ago, the Duke of Edinburgh was in full flow as he pointed to one landmark after another.
‘You can see Prince Consort’s Farm has remained, externally, the same as Prince Albert built it,’ he mused, before pointing in the opposite direction, adding: ‘Great place for crows, this.’
On we drove, past the farms designed by ‘Farmer George’, King George III, past the Frogmore gardens designed by Queen Charlotte, past the mausoleum built by Queen Victoria — ‘the family burial plot’ as the Duke called it — and so much else.
We were making a documentary about Windsor. But it soon dawned on me that so much of the landscape was actually down to the Duke himself: the tree plantations, a new deer herd and the Guards Polo Club, the international polo venue he built on the disused wartime airstrip at Smith’s Lawn.
As well as being the longest-serving Ranger of Windsor Great Park in history, he is also the first member of the Royal Family to open a shop. ‘About 30 years ago I suggested that we should have a plucking and packing facility for game,’ he told me.
‘Then this business of farm shops came along, so we converted the potting sheds into a farm shop.’
Weaving his way past the gobsmacked queue at the shop’s meat counter, the Duke gave us a swift retail masterclass: ‘Stuff grown here that was not [financially] viable when it went to the open market is viable now that it’s got an outlet. By taking out the middleman, it becomes more efficient. You can get lots of customers but if you don’t price it right, you lose money . . .’
It has often been said that if the Duke had not been married to the Queen, he would have risen to the top of the Royal Navy. But it might equally be argued that he would have had similar success as a businessman, engineer or headmaster.
Here is a man with a sharp intellect, a quizzical mind and a love of innovation, be it installing some of the first solar panels in Britain, planting an experimental truffle farm in Norfolk, driving around in one of Britain’s first electric cars, installing one of the earliest desktop computers, taking his entire office to try Heston Blumenthal’s latest experimental menu or being the first royal television presenter.
The list goes on and on. Because during a life just five years short of a century, there has seldom been a moment when the Duke has not been thinking about what to do next. That is why yesterday’s announcement was such big news.
For it is no exaggeration to say that the results of this restless innovation have been global. In the early Sixties, for example, it was the Duke who played a central role in the creation of the World Wildlife Fund, paving the way for organisations such as Greenpeace and helping to kick-start an entire environmental movement.
His Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, established more than 60 years ago in the teeth of opposition from a very sniffy Establishment — who thought it would undermine the Boy Scouts — has been adopted all over the world. Even in countries with no British connection, millions of young people have been the beneficiaries of his scheme for boosting youthful self-esteem.

Prince Philip was once described by the Queen as "my strength and stay all these years" and his lifetime of public service is testimony to that.
When the Duke of Edinburgh does finally stand down from his royal duties this autumn, it will bring to a close the decades of him being at Her Majesty's side at all kinds of events at home and abroad.
And that is not to mention the 22,191 solo engagements he has undertaken in his role as the longest-serving consort in British history.
He is involved with more than 780 different organisations. When he reached the grand old age of 90, his only concession to his passing years was that he gave up his connections to about a dozen of them.
One of the most successful associations has been with the Duke of Edinburgh's Award, a youth self-improvement scheme, which began in 1956.
But in an interview with the BBC's Fiona Bruce when he turned 90, the Duke said he could not take credit for the highly successful scheme.
"I don't run it - I've said it's all fairly second-hand the whole business. I mean, I eventually got landed with the responsibility or the credit for it.
"I've got no reason to be proud of it. It's satisfying that we've set up a formula that works - that's it."
Conservation role
His reluctance to claim credit for that scheme resonates with what the Queen said of him in a speech when celebrating their golden wedding anniversary in 1997.
She described him as "someone who doesn't take easily to compliments, but he has, quite simply, been my strength and stay all these years, and I and his whole family, in this and many other countries, owe him a debt greater than he would ever claim or we shall ever know".
In 1961 the duke became the first president of the World Wildlife Fund UK, but then faced criticism over his shooting of a tiger while in India that same year.
He eventually became the organisation's international president in 1981.
The Greek-born prince's life of service to the UK began when he joined up with the Royal Navy in 1939.
He saw active service in World War Two, from the Indian Ocean to the Mediterranean, being mentioned in despatches for his service on battleship HMS Valiant in 1941.
By that time he had met his distant cousin, Princess Elizabeth. Their friendship blossomed into love and they married in 1947, at which point he renounced his Greek title to become a naturalised British subject, and was made Duke of Edinburgh by King George VI.
Prince Philip's naval career, which saw the newly-married couple stationed in Malta, ended when George VI died in February 1952, and the princess became Queen.
Now Prince Philip had a new role, accompanying Her Majesty around the world, on Commonwealth tours, state visits and trips across the UK.
That globetrotting has seen him visit 143 countries in an official capacity in the decades that followed.
And the prince is credited with helping to save engineering in Britain in the 1970s, being described as playing a vital role in creating a national engineering academy.
In 2015 he told the BBC that after World War Two the UK was "completely skint - it seemed to me that the only way we were going to recover was through engineering".
When talking about a footman training programme which he began at the Palace, he said: "I tried to find useful things to do."
And he oversaw the modernisation of Buckingham Palace, as well as reorganising the Balmoral and Sandringham estates and becoming ranger of Windsor Great Park.
He played polo regularly until 1971 and then took up four-in-hand carriage driving, representing Britain at several European and world championships. He competed at international level carriage events until the age of 85.
And he became a qualified pilot, gaining his RAF wings in 1953, helicopter wings in 1956 and private pilot's licence in 1959. He also kept up his love for the sea, competing regularly at Cowes Regatta.

This is why you should try the challenging stuff with a mate :-)
TJ's Fourby Park is located of the Putty Rd, a good hour north of Windsor, NSW, Australia
Great for camping in a great natural setting and enjoying a proper bit offroading.
It is a work in progress so you will find new tracks every time you come back.
If you feel adventurous you could venture out and create a challenging track or two.
Or you could just having a quiet time overlooking the river and catching up with some mates around the camp fire.
I am not affiliated with this park or any other park we visit so not trying to sell it being better than it is. But I am pretty sure you would have a great weekend, highly recommended!
To book, search TJ's 4B Park on Facebook (or google) to contact the friendly owners.
If you like the army Defenders follow #stefsadventure
See you at the tracks!
