Prince Phillip poetry

I’ve seen a few poems on FB doing the rounds, written as if they were from the queen to Prince Phillip and vice versa eg ‘I felt you there beside me at the funeral Phillip, I know you were with me my darling’

Well meaning sure, but a bit...mawkish. Anyone else seen them? AIBU to find this just a bit wrong - putting words into HM’s mouth that she is extremely unlikely to say herself. But everyone is swooning over them - ‘beautiful words!’ ‘You should send this to the queen it would bring her lots of comfort’ 🙄.

When I was recently bereaved, if anyone tried to depict my grief in doggerel and sent it to me, I’d have found it pretty upsetting tbh.

Oh God same woman who wrote one of the Philip poems has written a poem for Kate Garraway...from Derek Confused. ‘I am here Kate!’ Jesus wept.

Noooo make it stop.

It was brilliant Derek pulled through for them as a family, I wasn't optimistic.
