Prince Philip

Just head that Prince Charles has been to visit him in hospital due to ‘exceptional circumstances’. He’s never visited him in hospital before and apparently left looking emotional. It doesn’t look good does it? I wonder how this will play out given the pandemic?

Whilst I think that PP is undoubtedly displeased with the way things have panned out I suspect that it would take a sledgehammer to break his heart , I think he is made of pretty stern stuff

H&M did none of this

@PicsInRed

I honestly honestly think the DFail are pre=emptively blaming H&M for his death, the headlines today say so. And on here, the same. His age will be irrelevant.

stairway · 02/03/2021 18:50

I don’t think Philip would be that bothered about Andrew and the young ladies, although I’m sure he was appalled by that interview. I think ( could be wrong) loyalty is more important than morality.

You're likely right.

After all, if Megan was killing Charlotte with her wedding bouquet and murdering the underprivileged with her morning avo toast, imagine the gruesome carnage this will entail. A photo edit of a chainsaw and the words "vengeful" and "massacre", probably.

We could make a tabloid bingo for it.

Yeh i think the predatory rapey son will have hurt him more than his grandson bailing out.

Port1aCastis · 02/03/2021 19:03

How come Harry gets all the abuse for supposedly upsetting the Queen and the Duke when Charlie boy was shagging Camilla making all kinds of dire phone calls that were taped and leaked to the press while still married to Diana, but no HandM get the blame for all the ills under the sun when their misdemeanors aren't a patch on what else has gone on, and which probably had the Queen and the Duke upset and seething with rage.

Shock Shock Shock
I will refrain from replying as much as I want to. Only because I don't want to derail.

Number3BigCupOfTea · 02/03/2021 19:07

I cant say what im thinking or the thread will be zapped.

Prince charles did make a holy show of himself with tampongate. The queen was disgusted id say.

I think Philip will be fuming in the best MN tradition knowing that as soon as he is dead Andrew will be trotting up the aisle with the dreadful Fergie once again.
Port1aCastis · 02/03/2021 19:08

The royal family like all other families have a few skeletons in the closet and probably an awful lot of baggage that we will never know about.

Nor me.
I'm sat on my hands

Number3BigCupOfTea · 02/03/2021 19:08

It is funny though, no rapey perverts in my family.

stairway · 02/03/2021 19:19

I think that is how they view the Andrew situation though, fun with young ladies. I do not believe for one minute that either the Queen or Philip believe him to be involved with sex trafficking.

Not just that, Andrew and his behaviour has been brushed under the carpet.

If that is the case, and we don't know, that is beyond disgusting. At the time these vulnerable girls were coerced and a lot were below the age of consent. Plus the age of consent was different in the US. He might well not be involved personally with the sex trafficing but he certainly was, by association.

Can we stop resurrecting 30 year old history? The sainted Diana is dead and Charles and Camilla have been married for nearly 13 years. Their past has no relevance.
PicsInRed · 02/03/2021 19:28

If you see what old Uncle Dickey Mountbatten was rumoured to get up to on his jaunts to Ireland, Andrew allegedly abusing teen girls probably seems a refreshingly traditional past time to the royals.

stairway · 02/03/2021 19:30

Fortunately we will never have a tell all interview from the Queen, so we will never know if she is disgusted with Andrew, believes him or doesn’t consider it a big deal.

Roussette · 02/03/2021 19:31

It's called putting things into context. We can't erase the past.

PicsInRed · 02/03/2021 19:31

And I'm sure the Queen's and Philip's feelings were hurt when Sophie literally sold them out to the Fake Sheik, right?

And when Peter and Autumn Philips had a tabloid secretly snapping candid shots at their wedding, for sale, without telling the family?

Roussette · 02/03/2021 19:32

Totally agree stairway. A very clever PR machine makes sure of that.
