Prince Phillip dead at age 99.
RIP
Rest in Peace. I would say he had a life well spent.
RIP.
How long before we’re treated to the Harry and Meghan quotes about how they loved him and will miss him...and oh yeah, they left because of him?
RIP
Helluva run. RIP.
He been lookin’ a might peaked lately.
Thanks DoodleDawg, yours is the first topic about this. A ping to all lists.
The only member of the Royal Family outside of the Queen I liked, RIP.

He had tragedies and turmoil in his early life, such as the deaths of his sister and her family https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1937_Sabena_Junkers_Ju_52_Ostend_crash
I really liked him. His humor (humour?) was exquisite!
I, for one, will miss him.
The Queen must be devastated.
An example of what royalty was supposed to be about instead of its usual sordid reality.
He had a long full life.
Harry didn’t bother going to see him in the hospital... thanks to MEghan. He’s moped around his entire life over his mother and now he’ll be moping around due to not visiting him or being there when he died. May he at least have the guts to oppose MEghan and go to the funeral.
He was a good sort. RIP, and prayers for the Queen as she faces life without the Prince.
Prince Philip’s Tragic Childhood
Before he took on the role of royal consort, Philip’s early life was marked by loss.

Philip was salty, and he had few behavioral filters. I wouldn’t doubt he was the one to speculate about Archie’s skin color, and why not. Good on Philip, and may he rest in peace. It’s a tossup if Ginger Markle or Sparkles Markle show up for the old boy’s funeral. I say no, they don’t...and good riddance to bad rubbish, really.
