StreetFight3r 6th Gear April 9, 2021 Share April 9, 2021 LONDON: Britain's Prince Philip, a constant presence at Queen Elizabeth II's side for decades, died on Friday (Apr 9) at age 99, Buckingham Palace announced. The death of the Duke of Edinburgh is a profound loss for the 94-year-old monarch, who once described him as her "strength and stay all these years". The outspoken former navy commander devoted much of his life as the queen's consort to charity work - but was notorious for numerous gaffes, many deemed downright offensive. He was admitted to hospital on Feb 16, 2021, and went home after a month during which he was treated for a pre-existing heart condition and an infection. Announcing his passing, BBC television played the national anthem over a picture of Philip in his prime, dressed in military dress uniform Philip, who was by the queen's side for nearly eight decades, retired from public duties in 2017 at the age of 96. His death came just months before his 100th birthday in June - an event typically marked in Britain with a congratulatory message from the queen, who is now Britain's longest-serving monarch. The couple, who celebrated their 73rd wedding anniversary in November, had been living largely in isolation at Windsor Castle, west of London, because their advanced age put them at heightened risk from COVID-19. Philip and the queen received their first vaccinations against the virus in January. https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/world/prince-philip-dies-99-britain-queen-elizabeth ↡ Advertisement 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

macrosszero Turbocharged April 9, 2021 Share April 9, 2021 (edited) Nothing to be sad about. He was born into royalty and he lived a long life as royalty. I respect him for his wartime service putting himself in harm's way. But he basically married into the British royal family. Maybe because the British were one of the powers that won the war, thus he is held in such high regard. Ultimately, I don't really care too much about our ex-colonial masters and their in-bred royalty. No one lives forever. Sorry.
