I bet the lovely Sussexes are regretting the timing of their 'sensational' and 'shocking' Oprah interview to be aired on the weekend now

they never knew the lengths to which prince philip would go to keep the publicity initiative

It really is a win/win situation. A PR disaster on one side and the end of Phil on the other.

Is it too late to cast Phil as the next James Bond?

Truth be told, he'd undoubtedly be the most faithful to the character in the books...

Don't you have to work to 'go postal'?

It does seem like his ticker is on the way out. Won't be long now I suspect.

St Peter, leaning on the Pearly Gates:

Ah, finally! Okay... let's have a look what we've got here. Ah, yes, here's the right page. Yep, that's it it says... "you're a cunt".

 

[krtek a houby]

Farewell, sweet prince

He ain't going in that direction

 

[Yuwipi Woman]

His endurance is certainly impressive, nearly a year after this thread started and over 10 days since being in hospital he’s still not been declared dead

None of the royals really work..

To be fair, I'd rather shoot myself in the head than have to attend all of the public events they do. It'd be like sitting through your high school graduation every day for the rest of your life.

True. But it's definitely not hard graft.
Philip was master of ribbon cutting. Onerous but doable...
I guess the ones who ended up in the army or navy or raf worked.
Forgot about that.

They're free to renounce their claimed status and relinquish the tedious role.

... and still be stalked by photographers for the rest of their lives. I'll pass, thanks. There's freedom in being completely obscure.

Yes that bit is shit but ... swings and roundabouts. Edward doesnt get a mention ever much. So it's possible to be a low profile royal. There are some who sort of walk into the limelight and can't do without it. And others who just get dragged into it and then can't get away.

 

[brogdale]

... and still be stalked by photographers for the rest of their lives. I'll pass, thanks. There's something to be said for being completely obscure.

If they were that troubled by the media attention they could let the state know that, as a family, they no longer wish to continue with the absurd, anachronistic pretence.

They could, but that would require a certain amount of collective mental health they don't seem to possess. They seem a bit screwed up.

There aren't usually many royals up there at Christmas, major ones at least, sometimes some of the lesser ones have low-key visits - Most are at Sandringham, although C&C usually get themselves up to Birkhall in time for Hogmanay.

 

[brogdale]

Christ, the state broadcaster's output is going to be even more intolerable than usual when he carks, isn't it?

so many palaces leads to great confusion among even the royal family

 

[prunus]

Is the old fucker still alive then?

Fucks sake.

 

[not-bono-ever]

as least he will die british, not european
