    Default Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh and consort to Queen Elizabeth II, dies aged 99

    He would have turned 100 in June.

    He was my favourite royal... the least "politically correct"

    R.I.P. Prince Philip

    "Phil the Greek" was always good for a laugh.

    “If it has got four legs and it is not a chair, if it has got two wings and it flies but is not an aeroplane, and if it swims and it is not a submarine, the Cantonese will eat it.”

    Maybe it was Phil's wry sense of humour that prompted Australia's Prime Minister Tony Abbott to award him a knighthood back in 2015?

    Rip....
    The fact that there's a highway to hell and a stairway to heaven says a lot about the anticipated traffic flow.

    And now we will never know if he would have received a letter from his misses on his 100th birthday.

    RIP.

    He was the most likeable of the royal hanger's on. It's a pity he didn't quite make his hundredth, but, still, a good innings for a Royal.
    I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...

    Interesting comments ,

    He was a distinguished WW2 veteran , father , and devoted his life to community service ,

    That by itself isn’t good enough?

    His comments were totally uncalled for... and he won't be making any more in this thread.
