Prince Philip’s strained relationship with Charles 菲利普親王與查爾斯的緊張關係
There have been rumblings for years that even though he is set to take over the throne Charles didn’t have a good relationship with either one of his parents, especially his father.
多年來一直有傳言稱，雖說查爾斯即將繼承王位，但他與父母的關係，特別是其父子關係並不很是融洽。
The Prince of Wales said that the queen and Philip were away a lot when he was a child and he was raised by his nannies. Charles also admitted that when they were around, his father was very cold and bullied him at times.
威爾斯親王說，當他還是個孩子的時候，女王和菲利普經常外出，他是由保姆帶大的。查爾斯也承認，當他們在一起的時候，他的父親很冷漠，而且有時管教他很嚴厲。
Prince Philip spoke to royal biographer Gyles Brandreth in 2016 about the differences between him and his oldest son and why that they could never grow close.
2016年，菲利普親王與王室傳記作家蓋爾斯·布蘭德斯(Gyles Brandreth)探討了他與長子之間的差異，以及為什麼他們永遠無法拉近關係。

「He’s a romantic and I’m a pragmatist. That means we do see things differently,」 Philip explained. 「And because I don’t see things as a romantic would, I’m unfeeling.」
「他很浪漫，而我是個實用主義者。即：我們看待事物的方式真的不同，」菲利普解釋道。「因為我不像浪漫主義者那樣看待事物，所以我沒有感情。」
Another thing that complicated their relationship is that Philip believed his son was too sensitive and decided to send him to his alma mater boarding school in Scotland called Gordonstoun. But Charles didn’t have the same positive experience that his father did there, which likely added to his resentment.
另一件讓他們的關係變得複雜的事情是，菲利普認為他的兒子過於敏感，於是決定把他送到蘇格蘭的母校戈登斯頓寄宿學校(Gordonstoun)讀書。但查爾斯並沒有向他父親在那裡時那樣積極向上，這可能增加了對他的不滿。

Now we know that Prince Charles is not Philip’s favorite so who is? Well, that would be Prince Edward.現在我們知道查爾斯王子不是菲利普的最愛，那麼誰是呢？ 那就是愛德華王子。
It’s been reported that Edward is his father’s favorite and as The Express noted, the only portrait in Philip’s study is of the Earl of Wessex. is said to really please Philip about his youngest son is that he and his wife don’t crave attention. In fact, Edward and Sophie, the Countess of Wessex prefer to live a quiet life and have shied away from the spotlight.
據報導，愛德華是他父親的最愛，正如《快報》所言，菲利普書房裡唯一的一幅肖像畫是威塞克斯伯爵的。據說，菲利普對他最小的兒子非常滿意的一點是，他和他的妻子並不渴望引起別人的注意。事實上，威塞克斯伯爵夫人愛德華和索菲更喜歡過一種安靜的生活，故此避開公眾注意。
「Edward has molded into a quiet and efficient figure who does not seek attention or acquire headlines,」 a palace source said, adding, 「He and Sophie are liked for being dutiful and uncomplaining.」
「愛德華已經塑造成一個安靜而高效的形象，他不尋求關注，也不上頭條，」一位王室消息人士說，「他和索菲因盡職盡責和不抱怨而受到喜愛。」
Edward has also taken over many of his father’s duties since he retired in 2017 and it’s widely believed that when Philip passes away, Edward is the one who will his Duke of Edinburgh title.
自2017年退休以來，愛德華繼承了父親的許多職責。人們普遍認為，菲利普去世後，愛德華將成為愛丁堡公爵。
