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.
Prince Philip. A lifetime of ‘Oime with ‘er” RIP.
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.
RIP! he’s at peace now.
His original name was Prince Philip of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg, or Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark.
Rest in peace.
The “Royals” anointed themselves special status by claiming they were more special to God with unique “blue blood”.....unlike that of the “commoners”.....
This is heretical to God......
They tyrannically ruled and plundered the people of England for a thousand years and they accumulated their wealth on the backs of the “commoners”.....Cruelty and the totalitarian rule was their specialty......
Good riddance to rubbish.....
RIP!
What a life, that was a truckload of history he lived in. RIP ole boy. Prayers up for HRH and the family.
Let’s hope he doesn’t get his wish:

I think there’s a bit of bookends-symmetry to the fact that Prince Philip’s mother Princess Alice was born in Windsor Castle, and Prince Philip died there.
Wonder if he’ll come back as a virus and kill half of humanity the way he wanted?
As an American patriot should I give a hoot?
Another chapter ends in the world’s longest running soap opera. That said, he did serve Britain with distinction in WWII.
Methinks the U.K. should sunset the “Crown” with E.R. ....
Is Markle going to stay home?
