Geoff Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 In my own opinion I would rate Prince Philip as one of the best "royals" 10/10. He carried out his various duties extremely well and I think it a bit sad that he did not quite make his century. RIP Prince Philip, bon voyage. Geoff.

He did it all as a naval officer who was distinguished and mentioned in dispatches, leading men etc and gave it all up for the Queen. No mean feat in the 1950s.... Outspoken yes but looking at his background and what he’d been through he did a lot to help a lot of people RIP Andy135, Geoff and GPSguru 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Love that one. I also found some of his gaffs amusing. In an interview about football fans on a radio interview I heard him mux his wirds up when he referred to "hocker sooligans". Geoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzook12 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 RIP Prince Phillip A royal who saw active service defending this land and her allies A man who invested in youth with the Duke of Edinburgh awards A man who saw the value of nature and the countryside and worked towards educating the need and value of such The only Royal who said what he thought......

They didn't get to be as wealthy as they are by frittering away the pennies 🤣 Maverick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
