In the U.K., Prince Philip was the Duke of Edinburgh and the Queen's consort – but did you know he was a god-like figure on a small Island in the South Pacific Ocean?
Some villagers on the island of Tanna, which a part of Vanuatu, follow the Prince Philip Movement, and are now mourning the loss of duke, BBC News reports. The villagers see Prince Philip as a "recycled descendant of a very powerful spirit or god that lives on one of their mountains," anthropologist Kirk Huffman told BBC News.More Related News
