Prince Phillip, at almost 96 years old, is standing down from royal duties.

Racist news ?

Prince Phillip, at almost 96 years old, is standing down from royal duties.

Wow, big news.

Unreal, innit.

That something like this is deemed worthy of such blanket coverage in the media is just plain embarrassing and depicts the forelock touching, serflike attitude still so rampant among many people in this country.

Glad he's alive. Otherwise we'd have to put up with wall to wall coverage of forelock tugging crap.

Be good to just have him cryogenically frozen.

[Steve Hunt]

Shame he's calling it a day. He & Harry are the only royals I have any time for.

The rest of them I am indifferent to at best. Most of them I actively dislike.

[The Ghost of Alex Higgins]

They wait to announce he's dead until there is a need to bury other news

[Steve Hunt]

Telling students in China: "If you stay here much longer, you'll all be slitty-eyed".

"It looks like a tart's bedroom." (on seeing plans for the Duke and Duchess of York's house at Sunninghill Park in 1988)

Asking Tom Jones, after his Royal Variety Performance in 1969: "What do you gargle with, pebbles?" .

We didn't have counsellors rushing around every time somebody let off a gun, asking 'Are you all right? Are you sure you don't have a ghastly problem?' You just got on with it." (1995)

[Steve Hunt]

Oh dear.......



Here's how the Sun's website mistakenly reported Prince Philip's death earlier today amid social media speculation about an "emergency meeting" of royal staff.

The story was quickly taken down and Buckingham Palace released a statement saying the duke was in fact planning his retirement.

Hillsborough, etc etc
