Official: Prince Philip is Dead, 9th April 2021

[D'wards]

It looked for a while that Prince Harry might inherit the title of official Royal loose cannon and be a worthy successor to old Phil.

But sadly he's fucked off to California and become a woke podcaster.

Is he dead yet? I haven't been following.

Anyone walking into a hospital is usually able to walk out of hospital even at the age of 99.

Not since Covid.

Not true.

Unfortunately.

No. It'll be all over the media when it happens.

Yes, the law of libel doesn't apply to stories about the dead.

And stories about the undead? Could dracula or lestat sue for defamation?

More likely to sue an overzealous dentist for defangation.

I'm surprised he hasn't been treated to the same kind of public service announcement website as Thatcher enjoyed during her waning years...

Yes, Margaret Thatcher is dead

Keeping track of when, exactly, The Right Honourable Baroness Margaret Hilda Thatcher will finally cop it.

I guess Philip is a much more loved national treasure than Maggie...

They just announced that he definitely isn't getting better.

was that ever news?

A royal source said: "Following consultation with his doctor the Duke of Edinburgh is likely to remain in hospital for observation and rest over the weekend and into next week.


"As we have said previously the doctor is acting with an abundance of caution. The Duke remains in good spirits."

Philip was admitted to King Edward VII's hospital on Tuesday evening after feeling unwell and walked unaided into the medical centre.

As my mother always said, “it’s the creaking gate that lasts the longest” Phil the Creak!

I'd rather he didn't die until I was back at work as a public holiday would make no difference to my life at the moment. Also, the Covid thing would rather limit the potential for acts of drunken orgiastic excess atop the statue of Queen Victoria opposite Buckingham Palace

Yes, the rest of the clan are so drab in comparison.

 

[T & P]

Charles has just gone in to visit him, so not getting discharged any time soon I guess...

Either that or imminently.

 

[platinumsage]

Apparently he hates having visitors when in hospital so I suspect he’s unconscious.

yeh but nowadays when there are streaming services including netflix and amazon prime - and of course the bbc's own iplayer - it'll be less spoiled than it would have been in bygone years. anyway, it's fine rioting weather this weekend, a bit cool but by no means chilly or wet at least in london

Unless Charles is.

Visitors are only allowed in exceptional circumstances... could that include e.g. death being imminent?
