Prince Philip has died

[XeNoN89]

Isnt there an island somewhere where the natives think Phillip is a god or something, wonder what happens there now, do they just change to worshipping Charles?

Only Charles worships Charles

 

[squerble]

I hope not.

But I hope that William will be our next King.

Charles is the next King, and he's the king from the moment Liz's heart stops beating. He's waited for too long, so he won't immediately abdicate to William.

A very distinguised naval career and, for me, a national treasure and I hope he has found peace.

I don't get the nasty axe-grinding comments online from people who haven't achieved anywhere near what he had in life.

One of the few royals I actually liked, even if he was like your old grandad who has no filter.

RIP

It was his lack of filter that I most liked. He spoke his mind and damn what people thought. You just dont get that sort of spoken honesty these days, people will zip up their mouths and hide their thoughts rather than stand their ground and just say what they think.

RIP

be kind, another human life has passed

My empathy is with Elizabeth, goodness knows how it must feel. Will she wear black in mourning like Victoria did?

We generally call those people ****holes don't we?

Poor bugger. 99s as good an age as any though I suppose.

 

[malachi]

So close! He nearly made it to 100.

Good on him for making it to 99.

Some people do yeah, personally I never have any issue with someone speaking their mind. I find it much more a pity when someone doesnt speak openly. But thats just me.

I think it's important that people feel able to speak forthrightly. That's a different kettle of fish to being an a-hole IMO.

 

[R.P.L]

I'll miss him. Great innings - RIP.

William will be in his 70's when he gets the throne.

Agreed matey. My granparents were of a similar generational way of thinking. It doesn't mean the person is nasty.

So?

To be an a-hole imo, would be to say something which isnt what you think but is instead something said just to be an a-hole. Speaking something that you think and someone not liking it though, thats not being an a-hole. Thats just being honest, a person might not like the honesty being said but thats a different thing altogether

However, thats probably a different topic than the death of Phillip and I dont want to derail one topic with another

 

[Stumble Bum]

oof so close to 100, really thought he'd make it and Elizabeth would have to write him a letter.

Which is why the queen will never abdicate, she won't want to see what a mess Charles makes of it!

I don't think referring to Chinese as slitty eyed is "speaking forthrightly".

She isn't going to live much longer and even if she does, I don't see how it can be in a working capacity.
