"but the episode depicting Philip’s youth and his sister’s airplane crash were harrowing."

His sister really did give birth on the plane right before it crashed. The were attempting to land because she was giving birth and hit a chimney.

Lord Jesus Christ, rest the soul of Thy servant Philip among the saints and comfort his family.

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, amen.

I believe Michael Fagen himself criticized that episode.

I guess all those drugs finally wore off.

Shouldn’t we be helping England liberate itself from this inbred family by giving no harbor to them, no romantic views, just the stark reality of how overdue they are to be gone?

The Brits will move them along if they ever want to do so. It’s their business.

You need to seriously fact check after every episode.

She’ll be torn between staying in US due to “stress while pregnant” or being seen pushing her way to front and center at funeral.

True enough, it is their business. Ours should not be hosting them and fawning over them.

That's a good one!

I didn't know Phil was such a comedian.

RIP.

Hope this doesn’t pull Elizabeth down. The world doesn’t need Chuckles right now.

Here’s MEghan’s chance to claim he’s the one who asked what color Archie would be since he can’t defend himself.

Camilla had dumped Charles and was long married by the time Diana came along.

Queen Elizabeth is 95, Charles is 72, but this article says she has named William as her Heir.

Yes, as an American patriot you should give a hoot. His death will likely put a toll on Elizabeth. She’s no spring chicken. When she’s gone, the world will have to deal with uber lib Chuckles.

.........I have never paid much attention to this man but, my oh my, how I do respect 70 years of marriage to one woman. That fact about this couple is off the chart!! She was quite beautiful in her younger years as well.
