Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh and Queen Elizabeth II's husband, dead at 99
[FoxNews] At 99, almost made 100. Too young? He was a WWII naval officer and served his nation and UK well. Godspeed

#2 I'm so sorry for Queen Elizabeth. She loved him, and it was obvious. I hope she lives for many more years.

#3 Let's see how Plugs gets out of attending the funeral. We know Kam's attendance would not be perceived well.

#4 He was Greek roylty by the name of Philip Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glucksburg but became a naturalized British subject and changed his name to Philip Mountbatten.

On the Valiant during WWII destroyed much of the Italian Navy.

In joint British operations with the US Navy that included the landings on Iwo Jima.

His humor got him in trouble with the Chinese and Australian Aborigines.

Even if Plugs went, the Pakace wouldn't let him in the sane room with the little princesses.

Harris will go. Expect her to scold the Royal Family for "racism" and cackle uncontrollably when asked questions by the press.

We could send Meghan in her place. Although she would probably come back.

#10 I shudder to think that Harry would wound his bereaved grandmother by dragging his grifter wife, but Meagain cannot pass up a photo op and public attention so i expect a travesty to rival the legitimate public grief at the passing of this fine man. Pity the grifter mutt doesnt know the meaning of shame and Harry has become unmoored from respect for his heritage.

#13 I gotta hand it to the old coot for hanging in there to 99, but he was a bit of an a$$ hole.

I hope the Queen hangs in there. Prince Chuckie is a turd.

#15 “On a visit to Australia Prince Philip saw a woman surrounded by children. He asked who the children were. She replied that all fourteen children were hers. The Duke said he was going to find the Queen so she could give the woman’s husband a knighthood. “ Oh no” the woman replied. “He won’t wear one.” “
