In the flick there's a scene where Philip, played by James Cromwell, is getting into bed with the Queen, portrayed by Dame Helen Mirren.Īs he shuffles in, Philip tells his wife: “Move over, cabbage" - and according to Peter Morgan, the film's screenwriter, this vegetable-inspired pet name didn't come from nowhere. The name also emerged after the release of The Queen film. The Sunday Times reported Prince Philip's nickname was confirmed by Robert Lacey, the monarch's biographer, who said: "Yes, I've heard that is how he will sometimes refer to her."

He’s behaving himself these days but perhaps the unedifying experience means his niece is now well placed to advise her husband on his own naughty uncle issues?
