1a. Seems like it should be word play between fillip/Philip, but putting L (fifty) in Philip doesn't work.

[aelmpvw]

phillip sounds like fillip

[meteora]

it ends with P phillip is queen's consort i think you can spell it with either one or two L's

[mac44]

What is phillip aelmpvw?

[dannyk13]

Prince Philip has only one l

[aelmpvw]

I must say I have never seen Prince Philip with two Ls.

[meteora]

Thank you all

[dannyk13]

But that does not parse with first part of clue- a leg up.
