Well known amongst taxi drivers but subject to a "D" notice, or how he was sent on a tour for months when his indiscretions became a bit too indiscrete. Just check it out.
Some of Your posts imo, on this thread have Brought this forum, to a low level, which I want no part of, that has been my observation on this thread, plus quite a few other threads you participate in....
Prince Phillip is unwell.....this is hardly the time to “ rake him over the coals”.....this is supposed to be a get we’ll thread, but once again....imo, you have turned into a bashing Prince Philip thread. you started the ball rolling......I am allowed to voice my observation on what I believe, it’s not judgment......your choice.

At the behest of the Greek king, George II, he returned to Britain in September to resume training for the Royal Navy.[19] He graduated from Dartmouth the next year as the best cadet in his course.[20] During the Second World War, he continued to serve in the British forces,
He served in the British Forces all the way through the war.
You consider that nothing?

Re: Prince Phillip
Threads about the royals always end up going the same way. there are those that love them and those that don't. I think the problem started when it was said he was 'Wonderful.' If we don't know him personally, how can we say he is wonderful?Personally I wish him well and hope he goes on for a good few years yet but then I wish that on all 99 year olds whatever their background or their wealth. Let's face it, he will have a better chance and will receive the best treatment available.

Prince Philip and the Queen are “ heroes” in the roles they have played, like everyone else they have made mistakes, but to serve a country like they have,....I could never have done it....the Queen was born into her role...so had lots of training....an amazing woman, who has served her country with honour and respect!.....gave her life to this country.....May God Bless You, your Majesty and Prince Philip.
The fact that he has had a wonderful interesting life ?
That he has travelled the world first class for most of that life ?
How are they heros?
The Queen gave her life to this country - this country gave her life and a rasin d’etre and a wonderful long life of privilege too .
If she didn’t want it she could have turned down the job .
God has certainly blessed them both already !

Seems to me that for someone who claims to be non judgemental, you're being very judgemental about some posters.

Re: Prince Phillip
I have made my opinion of the Royals - or at least the most senior of them, rather than the hangers-on - quite clear.I would just add that it is interesting how things have changed over my own lifetime.
During the war and subsequently the country as a whole supported the Royal Family, who held the country together during difficult times. That's how the majority of the population felt about them in those days.
More recently, in fact I believe much more recently, the population of this country has begun to polarise into two discrete factions: the pro-British and the anti-British (including the remoaners). Similarly, we now find an increasing number of people who would rather we didn't have a Royal Family.
What I find sad goes far beyond the pros and cons of the Royals. What is slowly destroying this country is the way that our people are increasingly dividing and pulling in opposite directions, some not only wanting the abolition of the Royals but also hoping for the country to be taken over completely by a foreign power.
I've said it before, but I'm glad that Marge and I are the ages we are and have no children!

Muddy....I have voiced my belief/ opinion....it’s the opposite of yours.
Did you really start this thread ,to wish him well, in his recovery?
Personally, I don’t think you did...just my opinion.
Prince Philip and the Queen are “ heroes” in my opinion....I don’t have to justify why, to you, so will decline,your attempt to get me into a slanging match........all in my opinion of course.
