Oh no. Sad news indeed. May he rest in peace

I always admired the marriage the Queen and him had. They went through so much together and it was obvious that they loved each other. very much.

I am sad for her Majesty

Like Denis Thatcher he was always in his wife's shadow but no doubt a huge support.

Sad news, any consort has difficult moments but he always had a good sense of humour.

We all have a sense of humour (question of degrees) so it must have been https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dukes_of_Stratosphear RIP

Sad, particularly as it’s the beginning of the end.

Johnson could not even be bothered to comb his hair to make the announcement- what a lack of respect for HRH- and a terrible image for the UK.

Re: Duke of Edinburgh has died
 

His hair is more of a mess than normal because hairdressers have been closed. I expect if he brushes it it might look worse.

Very sad about the DofE :(

Re: Duke of Edinburgh has died
 

RIP :(

Man of valour.

Time to get rid of the Royals, now that the only sensible of them has died.

I would agree that BoJo, the fat disheveled clown, is not very high on the UK image promotional scale. But hey, that’s where a constitutional monarchy/FPTP/Brexit can end up in – democracy! What’s not to love?
Apologies if I get triggered by BoJo – while I don’t subscribe to any monarchy, Prince Philipp had a certain sarcastic something - RIP

Re: Duke of Edinburgh has died
 

LOL, I know you're kidding but I had to check, to find out that's the British Queen's husband.
What a peasant I am. :msnblush:
Or maybe simply totally ignorant of any political system that is not direct democracy. :msnsarcastic:


However, RIP, Sir, Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark
(I do believe now is the time to remember he was a person of his own, no?).

Voice of ignorance or Friday thread hijacked! :msnblush:

Re: Duke of Edinburgh has died
 

Is that all you have to say about his death?

RIP.
