I am personally very saddened by this news. RIP, a great husband to our Queen and public servant to the UK and around the world.


Two months tomorrow.

Le Monde is referring to him as 'the spouse of the Queen of England'.

It's as if they're encouraging Ms Sturgeon on.

RIP Prince Philip. My thoughts and condolences are with the Royal Family as well as with Prince Philip's other friends and loved ones. I can't imagine what they're going through.

Title should be changed to "Phil the Greek has finally kicked the bucket".

David Mitchell reference, if anyone is offended

My thoughts are with the Prince Philip Movement. If that sounds flippant and ethnocentric, I'd like to think that it's not. They're clearly a very passionate group of people trying to make sense of the trauma of the postmodern world, and I wish them well in finding new ways to make meaning in the wake of their lodestar's demise.

Its always a shame when somebody gets so close, but not quite.

The man himself almost certainly wasn't bothered, though.

It happened again!

David Koch Prince Philip stayed up till midnight so that he could listen to Taylor's new album when it dropped, and it was so good it killed him! Stream Lover Fearless (Taylor’s Version) on Spotify now!

RIP    : '(, he had a long life and witnessed many historical events. He will have a great legacy for his prestige and for being part of one the longest-lived couples in human history.

What happens to the Duke of Edinburgh title? Is it left vacant?

I assume that his greatest legacy, giving city kids the opportunity to run away from cows as if they are raging bulls and then make awkward and fumbling passes at each other at in tents will remain intact.

For the time being, it has been inherited by Charles; but it is expected to be recreated in order to be granted to Prince Edward, the only son of the Queen without a Duke title.
