Hi

Probably just advising the staff not to worry about Merkel wandering round with a tape measure for the new curtains as part of the Brexit Deal.

Re: Prince Phillip Retiring.

Well I'll be blowed there I was thinking the old Duke was a bleeding Kraut but infact as others have stated he's a Greek.
Eeeeek.
He is a descendant of the Danish-German house of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glucksburg, whose members have provided bespoke royalty to Denmark, Norway and Greece. Philip was himself born Prince Philippos of Greece and Denmark on June 10 1921 on Corfu.

I suppose if this gets out to old Lizzie I'll be summoned to the Tower .

I couldn't agree more.

This could have been sorted out with an internal memo without all this fuss.

I had a feeling it may just be to tell them this is first in many changes, as the couple gradually hand over to the younger ones.

Re: Prince Phillip Retiring.

I wonder if it was his decision? Well done anyway to him.... anyone who still works at aged 96 deserves respect... Happy retirement to him

Re: Prince Phillip Retiring.

Prince Philip retiring? Why shouldn't he. Good God, would any of us want to work till we're 96?
I know I wouldn't.

Good on him, most men have retired long ago.
