As Shakespeare said, some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon ’em.
Prince Philip was in a sense all three, a man born into the Greek royal family yet denied his birthright; someone who had to work hard to carve out his status in life; and a man who ended up, over the course of seven decades by the Queen’s side, earning a unique place in history as the longest-serving consort of any monarch.
The Duke of Edinburgh was not a man who demanded recognition by right; he went out there and damn well earned it. He understood that titles alone do not make a man a true prince. Yes, he may in his pomp have been the dashing, debonair Duke with a thirst for excitement and a modernising mission; but there was always substance behind the gloss, a real determination to see things through and prove his worth.

Meghan gets a different kind of “Pearl Necklace”.
She did Prince Philip and the family proud.
Kate never fails to impress.
I was also impressed by Prince Edward and his family. I like that he and his wife decided not to raise their children with the titles Prince and Princess. They seem more down to earth that way.
That’s so bad.

Quote from Prince Philip
His Royal Virus
Reported by Deutsche Press Agentur (DPA)
August, 1988
In the event that I am reincarnated, I would like to return as a deadly virus, in order to contribute something to solve overpopulation.
Quoted in
“Are You Ready for Our New Age Future?”
Insiders Report - American Policy Center
December 1995.
I hate the royals! BUT, Kate is adorable. She is the new Diana only better.
Can they just skip over Howdy Doody and the Ho and go straight to William and Kate. PLEASE!
BTW, for anyone else curious, Phil entered the hospital in February about 5 weeks after he and his wife got their first WuFlu vaccinations.
The queen got her second jab in early April.
A cause of death for Philip has not yet been made public.
Red hair does run in the Spencer(Diana’S)family. Charles also has a full head of hair. I used to think he was obviously the bodyguard’s son, but Dr. Ed Dutton points out that he has the same stubby fingers as his brother & Charles, which is a stronger genetic indicator than hair. I’d still make him take a test though.
Male pattern baldness is carried on the maternal line, so unless you’re doubting that Harry is DIANA’S son, his genetic likelihood to be bald is equal to Williams’...and as someone else noted, he does have a significant bald spot already.
Watching Kate only spotlights how poor a choice Harry made with Meghan Markle. Kate may have been a “commoner”, but she is exceptional in every way, and what a blessing she is to William. As an Englishwoman, she understood that “being a royal” is no walk in the park. It’s much harder work than being a C-list celebrity on a cable TV series, much harder work than posting pictures of your yoga poses on InstaGram. Meghan Markle- in spite of her pretense of being one of history’s great do-gooders - does not have the character to dedicate herself to work that is often boring and uncelebrated. I believe even Harry will come to realize that the Netflix money and the Montecito mansion are shallow achievements compared to the life of duty he was raised for.
Agree with a lot of the comments here. I read today that Harry had a 2 hour sit down with William after the funeral. Just how tight a hold does Meghan have on Harry. They need and want money and attention. Meghan is driving the bus. Would they shakedown the royals to have a lower profile?
I thought I read Megain is floating out idea of another Oprah interview. Is she trying to blackmail the family?
Don't let the curls fool you. William went bald from the front to the back, Harry's going bald from the back to the front.
Megyn was born to be a slut.
Absolutely Gorgeous.
She makes it look so easy
I just can’t get over that black dress. 😍😍😍😍
Did you like the dress?
I wish it wasn't for such a solemn occasion.
