A newly released 1938 school report on Prince Philip, penned by Gordonstoun’s founder Dr. Kurt Hahn, reveals a complex portrait of the future royal: a natural leader with courage and endurance, yet prone to temper tantrums and impulsive anger. Though his academic work was outstanding—earning an A for intelligence and praise for German and military history—he struggled with consistency, often needing constant challenge and guidance. Despite this, he was universally admired, captained sports teams, and excelled in seamanship, proving himself a hardworking and cheerful sailor. The report, meant to stay hidden until 2041, now offers rare insight into Philip’s formative years and the traits that would shape his storied naval career.
