I’m seeing on the news that Prince Philip has passed away.
It is very sad. I am 66 coming on 67 and the Queen and Prince Philip have been the heads of the monarchy all my life, I have known nothing else. They always reminded me of my own parents in many ways. I wonder if the queen will abdicate now in favour of Charles?
PS The queen has said/been quoted(?) as saying she would never abdicate but in the light of the Duke passing would she perhaps now do so???
I can make my solemn act of dedication with a whole Empire listening.
"I should like to make that dedication now.
"It is very simple.
"I declare before you all that my whole life whether it be long or short shall be devoted to your service and the service of our great imperial family to which we all belong.”
"God help me to make good my vow, and God bless all of you who are willing to share in it.”
Will there be a full family attendance at the funeral I wonder?

No.. She made a promise on her 21st birthday and to her credit has spent all her life sticking to the promise.. lesser people would not have.. Theres no way she is breaking that promise in the final hour...
I think I posted on here in a thread on their interview with Oprah that Harry & Meghan might be in an awkward position soon . It's called sod's law. She's pregnant so might have an excuse not to make the journey.
I do hope not. I wouldn't put it past the odious woman to make some sort of comment on American TV about how sad she was whilst forcing out some crocodile tears.
She could stay at home and Ginge could fly solo.
RIP a husband and father.

Prince Harry will attend alone, according to the Telegraph. The same article suggests that his wife probably won't travel with him, due to her pregnancy.
Whatever...
Agree, maybe loved by many in the world. Me I thought he was great.
Some of the comments I’ve read elsewhere on social media have been absolutely disgusting. There are plenty of odious people out there for sure.

It probably was, given there isn't a lot of evidence that Trump can write.Listening to some of the tributes to him.....
The one from Barack and Michelle Obama came across as very personal and heartfelt, unlike Donald Trump and his wife's tribute which sounded like it was written by a committee and without warmth or true meaning.
Very sad news.

One of the main reasons I left social media. As it is said, 'Haters gonna hate' I'm afraid. I'm quite glad the pubs are not open yet because in my local there is an out-and-out communist who can be quite a nice chap but I know he would be celebrating this death and would say something that even at my age, might make me lamp him one.
Outside of the UK he was not very well liked and people will use their right to an opinion.

He is literally worshipped as a deity in some parts of the world...
