The Duke of Edinburgh who died on 9 April, on Saturday found his temporary rest (until the day when Queen Elisabeth dies and they will be buried together and join the late King George VI in their tomb) in St George’s Chapel within the perimeter of Windsor Castle.
Nearby to the Chapel is the building of St George’s House. It was there where Prince Philip co-founded an organisation which is not known so well as the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), an other NGO the Prince had helped to found in the sixties:
In 1966 the Duke and the then Dean of Windsor Robin Woods founded “St George’s House” which takes its name from the building and is committed to “effecting change for the better by nurturing wisdom through dialogue”. The organisation brings together people of responsibility and influence in business, government, society and the church to consult on contemporary issues with the purpose of investigating means of overcoming challenges in contemporary society through dialogue.
St George’s House featured, albeit in a fictionalized series of events, in the seventh episode of the third series of the Netflix series The Crown; “Moondust”.
