More commonly, he is simply referred to as His Royal Highness, The Duke of Edinburgh.

I can see why he is part of the Order of the Thistle and the Order of the Garter, but what connection does he have to Canada, Papua New Guinea and Australia besides being married to their Sovereign? Can those orders extend membership to people not of the country?
