re: Prince Phillip, Duke of Edinburgh, dead at age 99

When Charles becomes King he will have the option of making Camilla Queen Consort. But she will never have the title of Queen outright.

You are mistaken.

After Diana's death and to obtain Liz's acceptance of the Charles/Camilla marriage, it was agreed that Camilla's title upon Charles' ascendancy to the throne would be "Princess consort."

The Royal Family (Windsors) are actually German (Gotha). They changed their family name (historically recently) in the first part of the 20th century. They changed the name when a German "Gotha" Bomber bombed England and killed a number of people including children at a school.

"So, in the summer of 1917, shortly after Germany dispatched 23 Gotha bombers to Britain, resulting in the deaths of 76 civilians on the south coast, he changed it to Windsor."

Those who learn their history from fictionalized BS deserve their ignorance.

Given that 'Liz' will be dead and that Camilla has become much more popular and accepted in the many years since the marriage,

Charles is an absolute stuffed shirt. A first-class snob.

Death to Tyrants!

Uh... you know the British royal family has almost no *real* power, right? They are far lower in the "tyrant" scheme than Biden and his EOs...

will Harry and his divisive race-baiting wife go to the funeral?

I hope Harry goes and leaves her to birth by herself.

You’re the problem. The queen rules all in her world. The lie you stated above is the primary reason they are still in power. The “royal” family is the most powerful family on this stinking planet. Stop repeating lies just because you like they way they sound. Do some research. Open your eyes. They are evil incarnate.

Sic semper evello mortem tyrannis

Nice pic. Apparently, he acted in MacBeth as a high school kid?



What point were you making?

British royal family is a degenerate institution, but I respectfully salute Prince Philip for his trolling:

During Elton John's performance at the show in 2001: "I wish he'd turn the microphone off!"

“You look like a suicide bomber.” (to a young female officer wearing a bullet-proof vest on Stornoway, Isle of Lewis, in 2002)

“There’s a lot of your family in tonight.” (after looking at the name badge of the businessman Atul Patel at a palace reception for British Indians in 2009)

“Where did you get that hat?” (supposedly to the Queen at her coronation)

“If it has got four legs and it is not a chair, if it has got two wings and it flies but is not an aeroplane, and if it swims and it is not a submarine, the Cantonese will eat it.” (at a 1986 World Wildlife Fund meeting)

“How do you keep the natives off the booze long enough to get them through the test?” (to a driving instructor in Oban, Scotland, during a 1995 walkabout)
