Andy135 Posted April 9, 2021 Posted April 9, 2021 Just seen this. As Royals go, I found him endearingly irreverent. Condolences to his family. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-11437314 Quote

Geoff Posted April 9, 2021 Posted April 9, 2021 In my own opinion I would rate Prince Philip as one of the best "royals" 10/10. He carried out his various duties extremely well and I think it a bit sad that he did not quite make his century. RIP Prince Philip, bon voyage. Geoff. GPSguru and Andy135 2 Quote

He did it all as a naval officer who was distinguished and mentioned in dispatches, leading men etc and gave it all up for the Queen. No mean feat in the 1950s.... Outspoken yes but looking at his background and what he’d been through he did a lot to help a lot of people RIP GPSguru, Andy135 and Geoff 2 1 Quote

Geoff Posted April 9, 2021 Posted April 9, 2021 Love that one. I also found some of his gaffs amusing. In an interview about football fans on a radio interview I heard him mux his wirds up when he referred to "hocker sooligans". Geoff. Quote
suzook12 Posted April 9, 2021 Posted April 9, 2021 RIP Prince Phillip A royal who saw active service defending this land and her allies A man who invested in youth with the Duke of Edinburgh awards A man who saw the value of nature and the countryside and worked towards educating the need and value of such The only Royal who said what he thought...... Irrelevant? Hardly Andy135, Geoff and Maverick 3 Quote
