Forget all that. He might have been a racist. Throw him in a pit and leave him for the alley cats./s

Not if he's made his peace with the Lord.

It doesn't get much better than 99 years and he's in a MUCH better place.

At least the term ‘hood rat’ was physically placed before his eyes.

How did he get through the era of cancel culture and only emerge dead?

The man was Mountbatten’s creature.

A national security nightmare.

A rotten parent.

His progeny haven’t fallen far from the tree.

Philip didn’t get thrown overboard because he was useful.

Prince Phillip was a very good man, by the side of one of the most gracious ladies in the world.

There was a tale of The Queen and Prince Phillip on a state visit to Canada, while they were aboard Royal Canadian Navy ship. It was tea time, and the steward delivered the tea and biscuits to the royal stateroom. The steward had set down the tea and was about to serve the biscuits, when the ship gave a small lurch, and the biscuits scattered on the floor. The Steward, of course, was mortified, but Prince Phillip got down on all fours, and scooped up half the biscuits and placed them on the plate. He looked up at the Queen, and said, “These are mine. Yours are still on the floor.”

He almost made 100, and I was rooting for him. He was, as they say in Oklahoma (and they say it with admiration), one tough piece of boot leather.

Rest eternal grant unto him, Lord, and the light unfailing to shine ever upon him.

"I didn’t realize I liked this guy!"

Exactly, he'd fit right in with the crowd I hang with.

(Except when he wanted a warm beer, that would be where we draw the line...)

I believe the dukedom of Edinburgh devolves to his son Edward.

I’ve just finished watching the first two series of The Crown. He’s not portrayed very positively in those two series. Of course I don’t have the first clue how accurately any of the characters are portrayed.

My first thought, after chiding myself for spending more time thinking about the British royals at all, was how Meghan Markle was going to try to spin this to make it about her.

I agree with his comment about Lady Elton John...a thoroughly repulsive (and utterly talent-less) creature.

If true that’s about as funny as it gets!
