alfierose Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Sad news for The Queen. Whatever you think about royalty this marks the beginning of the end of an era for the UK and remaining Commonwealth. When The Queen goes too it will have quite a significant impact I think. Most people have no living memory of anything other than QE2 as head of state. 1 minute ago, lukepowell1988 said: 1 more year he would have gotten a letter from The Mrs Only a couple of months really. I think his 100th birthday would have been June/July. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DurhamGirl Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 RIP Prince Phillip, end of an era as alferose said. I do feel sympathy for the Queen as her husband of 73 years has passed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was quite amazing he survived the heart surgery a couple of months back. Which part is most bonkers? "A Fox & Friends host linked Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to the death of Prince Philip just minutes after the announcement by Buckingham Palace, saying their recent public comments had “evidently” added to the 99-year-old’s “stress”. Between the accusations brought up in the interview (don't ask, I didn't watch it), I can see how that might cause a person additional unwelcome stress, which certainly didn't improve his health. Seems like a reasonable conclusion https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/fox-and-friends-prince-phillip-b1829096.html I'm sure hearing a non-Brit talk about Brit business is about as welcome as a Canadian talk about America (it's not, Canada can fuck off)- so I'll just leave it at that.

The man was 99 years old; had been in an out of hospital for the past two years, and reports showed his health was in decline for a long time. But an interview with his grandson is the thing that did him him. You can't be serious. As for Canadians talking about America, you have a point. Considering Americans and the country itself never talks or involves itself in the politics of other countries, non-Americans should never do the same about the land of the free...

I'm not saying it did him in at all. I don't think the Fox and Friends did either but let's go with the narrative. I don't care. I've seen less evidence contribute to the Covid-19 death statistics. I swear not all my jokes involve making light of the past year. I'm not positive though. I'm with you brother. That's not my call. You'll have to bark up another tree.

From my understanding, she's always viewed this as a job for life, regardless of if it suited her personal preferences (according to The Crown, it hasn't). Prince Charles has carried out royal engagements on her behalf for several years. My mum met him once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
