From wikipedia:

Philip was originally a royal prince of Greece and Denmark, and thus a member of the Danish-German House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg, but renounced these titles shortly before his marriage and adopted the surname of his maternal grandparents, to become known as Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten.
I believe that Harry is saying that the chap in the picture is Mountbatten Senior/..
I agree..
Look at the sleeve and the gold braid on the lad...
Prince Phil was a lowly three ringer at this time ..
The likeness are striking at that age..
Lord Mountbatten gets my vote..
