Ok, this is flat out funny.

Prince Philip is worshipped as a god on a remote pacific island.

"Determining exactly how these people came to believe in the prince's divinity is very difficult. It appears that at some point in the 1950s, they melded Christian beliefs in a returning messiah with the respect accorded His Royal Highness by the British authorities in what was then the colony of New Hebrides."

Their veneration of the prince fitted comfortably with an ancient prophecy that a Tanna man would venture far away in search of a powerful woman to marry."

The prince's cult-like status received a boost when he paid a state visit to the New Hebrides in 1971, resplendent in a white naval uniform as he and the Queen steamed into the capital, Port Vila."
