My wife the Queen: Prince Philip reveals his hidden talent for painting.

Excerpt follows: 

The Duke of Edinburgh is known for his appreciation of fine art, but less well known is his own talent for applying oils to canvas.

He painted this image - entitled The Queen at Breakfast, Windsor Castle - back in 1965 - and it has been part of his private collection ever since.

Now it features as one of the most surprising images in a new book, The Royal Portrait Image and Impact, to be published by the Royal Collections on Monday.

The painting offers an intimate glimpse of the Queen off duty, a second place setting at her side presumably the artist’s.
