Inhabitants of the island Tanna were shocked to hear of Prince Philip's retirement. The islanders believe the royal to be the son of an ancestral mountain god.
The pale-skinned son supposedly left the island to marry a powerful woman overseas. The villagers believe he will bring wealth and good fortune upon his return.
Philip's retirement is likely to disappoint these hopes.
He most likely was linked to the local legend in the 1960s, when Vanuatu was an Anglo-French colony.
