Re: Prince Phillip

As far as I'm concerned, both Liz and Phil have worked hard - harder than I and many other people have worked - for all their lives.
Did they both stop working at 65 years of age?
How much of a private life have they had over all those years?
How much choice have they had as to what they can do and when they can do it?
All I can say is that I couldn't possibly do what they have both done. Nor would I want to.

That’s true Muddy but we cannot choose the life we’re born into can we ?

Of course it’s not “work” as most people know it .
They also have very very long holidays every year .

Moreover they don’t have to do it Charles would have been delighted to take over - he would as I said have been king 30 years by now in fact he could have retired and handed over to William so they all had a crack at the whip as it were .
