Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh and Queen Elizabeth II's husband, dead at 99
2021-04-09
[FoxNews] At 99, almost made 100. Too young? He was a WWII naval officer and served his nation and UK well. Godspeed

#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.” “

#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.

#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.

#8   We know Kam's attendance would not be perceived well.

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

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

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.

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.

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