As Shakespeare said, some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon ’em.
Prince Philip was in a sense all three, a man born into the Greek royal family yet denied his birthright; someone who had to work hard to carve out his status in life; and a man who ended up, over the course of seven decades by the Queen’s side, earning a unique place in history as the longest-serving consort of any monarch.
The Duke of Edinburgh was not a man who demanded recognition by right; he went out there and damn well earned it. He understood that titles alone do not make a man a true prince. Yes, he may in his pomp have been the dashing, debonair Duke with a thirst for excitement and a modernising mission; but there was always substance behind the gloss, a real determination to see things through and prove his worth.

I’m a feminist.
And have been happily married to the same retro hubby for decades. :-)
As for Kate, I hope to God she has the brains to ensure her kids learn a trade.
They’re gonna need jobs.
Real ones.
Rarely does a statement from the media acknowledges the reality of civility in this day and age, but I think this does, and rather well:
“ Because Kate understands, as the Duke of Edinburgh did before her, that being a consort in the British Royal Family may be a long, hard road to walk — but that if you take it slowly and one step at a time, and show yourself to be a calm and wise voice of sanity, you can be the rock on which a great and much-loved institution stands firm.”
Why is William nearly bald and Harry has full red beard and hair?
I’ve been fairly impressed by Kate. She married into one of the most watched families in the world and slipped right into things. She lives in a bubble that most people could never comprehend and manages to flit about without ever offending.
Good girl that Kate Middleton.

“Why is William nearly bald and Harry has full red beard and hair?”
*************************************************************
Need you really ask?
Run away!
The Daily Fail still calling her “Kate Middleton,” I see. She has been the Duchess of Cambridge for almost 10 years. I can picture it now: Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales or Kate Middleton, Queen Consort (rather than Catherine, Princess of Wales, or Queen Catherine).
Kate has a lot of unselfconscious, natural poise.
On the other hand.... Meghan is completely the opposite.
Meghan ALWAYS looks like she’s posing for a still and has a crying NEED for media attention! I guess she didn’t get enough of that during her stay in the UK, and that prompted her rush to leave.
To cover her ghastly decision, and along with wholesale MSM complicity, she bought into the burgeoning ‘race industry’. She trashed her husband’s family and is now situated to cash in on the ‘racist’ rhetoric forever!!
But the media stumbles over itself to use the title of the Duchess of South Sex.
Excess...... 4 strands of pearls
Four strands are an indicator of inferiority
Harry has some balding going on on the top toward the back also,
She is a very pretty lady.
Why is William nearly bald and Harry has full red beard and hair?Ask Princess Diana's riding instructor.
She has a Vivien Leigh look about her.
The pearls were on loan from the Queen.
