Plantagenet,

I met him first at a car club do, he was the Patron of the club and at other times at Scottish gatherings; I mentioned years ago that I have a minor Scots title, of no significance other than it allows me to wear a single eagle feather in my bonnet and is a great door opener.

Here's how Prince Philip tackled conservation and climate
change.

Gotta love the man. Typical Philip.

Hi Pete,

It appears that Princess Anne was the royal who
Meghan and Prince Harry did not name on Oprah
according to Lady Campbell. And it was taken out
of context by Meghan. Princess Anne was questioning
Meghan's fit into the royal family and whether she
was right for Harry. Race or colour did not enter into
the equation and Princess Anne was not at all concerned
about any of that. However, Meghan chose to manipulate
the matter to her advantage and shocked Oprah and many
viewers. But not true at all.

Hi Foxy

What with the poster of the Queen (fully clothed) on my wall and screensaver of Duchess Kate - I'm still waiting for the invite to the Funeral. I wanna know who's responsible!

Yep I heard a few days ago that Anne, as Harry's Aunt, had legitimate concerns. The whole Oprah thing was a jaundiced Americans' eye view of the Royals. The UK Royals are still very conscious of spouses coming from the RIGHT European Royal or British families (eg. no Catholic Royals from Spain or Monaco need apply). So Oprah, who is also a business partner of Meghan, shouldn't have feighned racial shock.

Phil views on animal conservation seem all over the place. If animals stand still protect them. If animals move, shoot them.

By the time the Queen dies or abdicates I hope she's organised Parliament to skip odd Charlie/Camilla and bring on William/Kate.

Like most they have complex views on climate change (CC). http://www.independent.co.uk/climate-change/news/prince-philip-conservation-climate-change-b1829227.html Foxy spotted showed how inconstistent the Royals' views are. Even if they highlight the dangers of CC they still have climate denying lifestyles with all those luxury cars, private jets/helicopter rides, castles, palaces and 100s of staff.

At least they retired Royal "Yacht" Britannia, actually a ship of more than 5,500 tonnes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMY_Britannia

Still Britain get its money back as the Royals attract so many tourists and keep Parliamentary democracy stable.

God knows the US could do with a Royal Family or Governor General instead of a President.

Phil got around, had many causes and I'll miss his jokes.

Interesting (as Foxy advises) Phil's "funeral will feature a purpose-built Land Rover that the Prince helped design

which will take his coffin to St. George's Chapel, ie. no gun carriage.

Here's THE or one of Phil's special Land Rovers http://www.thesun.co.uk/news/8225864/was-prince-philips-life-saved-crash-68k-land-rover/

Prince Phil - don't ya love him?! http://youtu.be/ARD6giO2oik?t=1m57s

Here's an appreciation by a prominent Green, who, it would seem is not shy to accept a salary from the Crown.

"Anyone's death is sad for their family but I'm not going to pay tribute to a known racist.
Especially on the day we march to end First Nation deaths in custody at the hands of a racist colonial system."

Somebody must have stepped on a stone, in some polluted place, and this piece of Green slime oozed out.
