Prince Philip Has Died Aged 99

OUR CONDOLENCES - Prince Philip Has Died Aged 99. He had a long and satisfying life and was unswerving in his loyalty to the Queen. He could be cantankerous and impatient and he frequently said what he thought regardless of the consequences. His bone dry sense of humour and sharp wit was not always appreciated by everyone.

He was not above boxing the ears of the palace staff it was rumoured, waiters at the table could get clumped it was alleged by one palace staff member back in the '90's. The palace these days has had to fall in line with modern employment practices like any other organisation.

Prince Phillip was undoubtedly seen as snobby by many people and maybe someone who went out of fashion back in the 1950s.

We feel sorry for Her Majesty the Queen who has had to face the Megan and Harry media storm and will now have to face trials like these without her partner's support.

Will the Queen battle on to the bitter end, or is now the time to gracefully retire and hand over the reins to Prince William?

Prince Charles does not have public support since his miss-treatment of Princess Diana and he too looks like someone from a bygone era.

All land acquired was stolen largely from someone else through the use of violent force. That's how you get your own country. The worship of royalty who get their jobs by coming out of the right womb or marry into it is a bit strange to start with.

The Royals keep us entertained and take peoples minds off things that really matter. Six million on Universal Credit and everyone is talking about Megan Markle and Piers Morgan. 

It is always sad when someone dies. Our condolences to the Queen and all the family.
