Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, dies aged 99

I feel sorry for his family (or at least those members of his family who he didn't bully unmercifully) and the Queen in particular, they certainly seemed to find a way to make that relationship work.

One of the advantages of watching everything on catch-up or Netflix or Prime is that the changes to the TV schedule will have little impact on me.

If he gets am "in memoriam" programme half as heartfelt as Sabine Schmidt's he'll be doing well IMO.

Same here, but I do like a bit of Bargain Hunt with my lunch, and they've ditched that. Non-stop Prince Philip on 4 of the 5 main channels at the moment. Luckily we have other options now.

Quite. I wonder if we'll be hearing from his many reputed conquests?
 
I quite liked the dude.

He was slapper central when young, but sorted his stuff out and settled with the Queen.

He said some stuff as jokes which at the time were jokes and now are justifiably not ok, but he was pretty funny.
 
As other people have already said this is a sad moment for those of us that still view broadcast TV.

He’s been on the brink a few times but I think it was pretty much sealed that he was dying when one of his sons actually bothered to visit him in hospital.

He had a privileged life, one that will probably never be seen again outside states such as North Korea so can’t see any great sadness

Not bad for a refugee from Corfu.

I get you are weirdly getting off on the news someone has died, but think you might need to clarify your accusations about racism with some verifiable evidence,

Dude was 99 ffs.

As much as you seem to want to make it more. He just died of old age.

This is, as Lothian already pointed out, a not totally serious comment and is based on what the UK-ian meejah have been saying over quite some time about Meghan Markle, who has copped the blame for everything this side of Covid.

That she is of mixed heritage may be completely irrelevant. However, some of us have encountered our meejah before and are familiar with their MO, especially the more right wing and overtly royalist sections.

Did I really need to use some form of sarcasm tag?

You are right. Perhaps the british media don't like people who's names begin with M.

I am sure you can google but here, here, here, here and here you will find smoke. If you have already decided there is no fire, don't waste your time opening the links, they were the first that came up.

I can't remember the stand-up comic that said it, but it's something like...

My grandmother died at the age of 103. Yet some people still ask, "what did she die of?" What do they expect? She crashed her Harley at Bike Week.
