RobertMugabe 437 Posted June 27, 2017 Well this is a funny, I feel the death is actually in Harry's hands. If Harry goes ahead and does marry that Megan, because she is a ethnic minority, it could make the Duke feel sick and possibly kill him off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The funniest thing about him is that he is obviously just a puny little lily-white Pommy bloke. That said, "burning like an African farm with cladding" is a classic, so I'll give credit where it is due. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

prussianblue 1,031 Posted July 5, 2017 I attended the garden party at Holyrood yesterday and got to see Philip up close. I'm not a royalist but I love him and was far more excited to see him than the Queen. When they arrive they came down a steep stone staircase with around twenty steps, and both managed that fine. They then split up and did a separate meet and greet circuit each for about forty minutes before going into the tea tent. I had unknowingly managed to end up on his route. It took him ages to get around but he was stopping every few feet and talking to dozens of people, so no real indication of his abilities. When he appeared in front of me he seemed in remarkably good form for a man his age. Walking and standing straight, unaided unless you count his rolled up umbrella. Shorter than I expected but I suppose he's shrunk a bit. The familiar aged skin. He appeared to have a tiny hearing aid behind his left ear, but seemed very alert and responsive in conversation. As you can see, he's also a snazzy dresser. 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bibliogryphon 9,579 Posted July 26, 2017 Next Wednesday (2nd August) will be the Duke's final official engagement. After that form studying opportunities will be limited to 'events' . Do you think he would go to Camilla's funeral? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He has always tried to fullfill his duties to the best of his ability. Something tells me that he will enjoy this obligation. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, one party blabbed about everything, and the other remains rather guarded, so it's a bit easy to assume, when likely both were thrown into a marriage neither wanted. But meh, never liked Diana - always struck me as a very PR savvy saleswoman, with no realness. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
