Morphology
prince + Philip
This is a literal combination of the title 'prince' and the given name 'Philip', so a learner who knows both words will understand it refers to a prince called Philip. It is referential rather than idiomatic — learners may not infer historical/biographical details (e.g. husband of Elizabeth II) but the basic meaning is directly compositional.
Etymology
Prince Philip was born a prince in Greece and Denmark and later moved to Britain, where he married Queen Elizabeth II. Because he became the Queen's husband and the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip today means 'the Queen's husband' and a well-known royal.
