Kate Middleton showed again at Prince Philip's funeral that she's a class act who can be the monarchy's new rock

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.

And what a stark contrast, it must be said, to that other royal consort, out in sunny Santa Barbara, always so quick to take offence, always so keen to be cast as the victim. Well, she can say whatever she likes: the quiet sincerity of the Duchess of Cambridge’s good heart is all the truth we need to know.

That's a burn...

#6 Harry is less hairy on top. You can see he is losing his hair. He already lost his mind.

Why is William nearly bald and Harry has full red beard and hair?

William would have a full beard if he chose to have one. As for the male pattern baldness, check out Harry's pate on his wedding day three years ago:

Excess...... 4 strands of pearls Four strands are an indicator of inferiority

That beautiful necklace was loaned to Catherine for the occasion by its owner, Elizabeth 2, the most recognized and influential female leader worldwide of the past 70 years, who has worn it herself at many public events. To paper over her inferiority, you say? Pray tell, to whom?

I thought I read Megain is floating out idea of another Oprah interview. Is she trying to blackmail the family?

I would ask, "Is the Pope Catholic?" but even that's not working these days. Hell, yeah. She is being "handled" by Obama's network of megawealthy, influential racial-grievance grifterwokes.

That is Dodi's father. This is Diana's father, the Earl Spencer:

That was one of her most beautiful looks, and she was pregnant at the time. Prince Philip probably thoroughly approved of her.

DoC’s beautiful clothes and style:

Apparently Megan advised Harry to list his appearance at the funeral as a “Special Event”.
They have already updated his IMDB page to reflect his appearance at the funeral as a T V Special.

Wow, what a great article. She wears coat dresses especially well. Jenny Packham really seems to get how to cut waistlines a little high for her very long torso. Catherine is really growing into a most beautiful time of youthful maturity.

How utterly lowdown, crass, tasteless, self-seeking and gauche. Her sister and brother tried to warn them, but they were dismissed because they are rather taste-free, themselves. She needs a cell in the Tower of London, with no wi-fi.

Why is William bald and Harry with fulsome red hair?

Traditions in many countries say:
baldness is an indicator of wisdom and prudence,, while
red hair is a sign of foolish emotions and rash actions.

My apologies to all you redheads, you ARE entertaining and great at a party.

Well, baldness occurs along a timeline, and William is older than Harry aka
“Howdy Doody!!”

So mean. Thick skin is necessary for the job, Meghan not talented in that category.

Indeed, if you are married to a future King of England, four strands ain’t no sign of an inferiority complex.

And it really looks like a perfect offset in style and volume to that dress and its neckline.
