At university he may have changed subject or done a joint honours degree, as this page from his alma mater says he read classics. Could easily be a mistake, of course. Blythwood (talk) 14:17, 10 July 2016 (UTC)Reply
His middle name (John) and year of birth (1957) can be confirmed from official published records, which also show that his mother's maiden name was Miller - should this be of any interest in the future. Ghmyrtle (talk) 09:42, 12 July 2016 (UTC)Reply
“Mrs May, who rarely opens up about her private life, spoke about the "huge support" she received from Philip, who at 57 is two years younger than her, during this period in her life on BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs.”, according to BBC News, “Profile: Theresa May's husband Philip”, 13 July 2016.
Our article says that he was born in 1957 and that his age as 58–59. There is a mistake anywhere, maybe on BBC News, maybe on Wikipedia... Hégésippe | ±Θ± 18:57, 13 July 2016 (UTC)Reply
The "spouse of the Prime Minister" is not an "office". So why do we use {{Infobox officeholder}}? Ghmyrtle (talk) 11:01, 14 July 2016 (UTC)Reply
agree - spouse of a leader is not an office — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.91.232.210 (talk) 23:34, 31 January 2018 (UTC) if he "assumed office" he would be sworn in...he was not sworn in — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.91.232.210 (talk) 23:38, 31 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
I think he is notable by Wikipedia standards but by some people's interpretation, they might want his article deleted or redirected to something else. Camfartox (talk) 19:52, 2 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

Relatively new contributor here. Can I suggest that someone with more experience changes the lead image of Philip May on this article (Wikimedia Commons link here) and at Spouse of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, as it appears to have been distorted out of proportion, and so doesn't adequately depict the subject? Surely there must be a better photo out there? MannersMakythMan (talk) 15:40, 21 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
So "Carrie Symonds (not married)" has taken over the role of Spouse of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom? According to that article it's still "Marina Wheeler (separated)." I would suggest that, legally speaking, that will remain the case until the divorce is finalised. Any thoughts? Martinevans123 (talk) 21:18, 24 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
