RIP Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh

Yeah, 99 years is a good run.

It's hard to not like someone who said things like these:

"If I were reincarnated I would wish to be returned to Earth as a killer virus to lower human population levels."

"When a man opens a car door for his wife, it's either a new car or a new wife."

"People think there's a rigid class system here, but dukes have been known to marry chorus girls. Some have even married Americans."

It's a shame he didn't make it to 100. He missed out on a phone call from the Queen.

I don't think complaining is really on the table for him now. 😀

I liked the Duke he pissed a lot of people off with his UnWokeness and straight talk.

He just happened to die because he was 2 months short of his 100th B' Day and had been in poor health for several months - the vaccine had nothing to do with it.

holy shit, a 99 year old who looked like a walking skeleton wrapped in cellophane died after taking the shot? we need to get our top scientists on this to figure out what's going on.

i can't find the exact quote, & this may be apocryphal, but supposedly when he was going through customs in australia (they still had to do the formality, even for royals), he was asked by the customs officer if he had a criminal record, and he answered 'why? is it still a requirement here?'

i hope that's true. it's a great line.

edit...if i'd taken a moment to read, i'd have seen someone posted the story already.

I was starting to think that he and the Queen had decided they simply weren't going to die, ever, and being royals had access to the technology to pull it off. Maybe some MI5 thing going on. It's sad when anyone passes.

That's a great line

I was reading some of his more memorable comments yesterday and was laughing so hard - they are priceless.
