Philip did not become king primarily because he was not the primary heir to the throne. His father, King Henry II of England, had designated Richard, Philip's older brother, as the successor. Additionally, Philip's political and military ambitions, coupled with conflicts with other powerful nobles, may have affected his standing and opportunities for ascension. Ultimately, Richard's reign overshadowed any potential claim Philip may have had.
