Re: Prince Phillip
You are wrong Pauline I was just commenting on the news that he was going into hospital .
I have made no secret of the fact that I am no royalist but I don’t wish an old man any ill will . He’s an old man who has had a great and interesting life much of it in good health and has been indulged ever since he married the Queen 73 years ago .
During which time he has never had to worry about anything about getting a job paying for living he has lead a life of complete privilege . What is heroic about that ?
What is there to respect other than old age ?
Everything that he has has been bestowed upon him .
He won the marriage lottery of the century by reason of his spectacular good looks and a pro active uncle . I don’t blame him for that but it’s hardly heroic.
I have met Prince Phillip on three occasions he is what he is irascible and not very polite but it must be pretty boring playing second fiddle all the time.
