RIP Prince Philip, royalty of the old school. As opposed to Harry and Megan....

Prince Philip has been doing it longer than anyone in the history of the Royal Family, since the day in 1952 when he and Princess Elizabeth were at Treetops in Kenya and received the news that George VI (the King's Speech guy) had died. Harry Truman was in the White House; Stalin was in the Kremlin; some fellow called Mao had just taken over in China. That's a long time.

Here’s a hilarious compilation of Prince Phillip’s public pronouncements. I’m sure his private pronouncements were twice as hilarious!

Yes, royalty indeed. Not trash like those two.

this is terrible news. The Duke had just spent a month in the hospital and everyone was so optimistic he would be right as rain again. God Save the Queen. (and let’s hope Harry comes back for the funeral to stay and get a divorce)

RIP.

An excellent tribute to Prince Philip, thank you Mr. Steyn.

His various quotes are hilarious. He was like your favorite crazy uncle in the things he would utter.

That said, it must be remembered that he was no fop. This man was a decorated naval officer and combat veteran who saw action in several battles in the Mediterranean and later in the Pacific in World War II.
