What did Prince Phillip mean to you?

I always liked him.

One of my favourite members of the RF

I'm not a fanatical RF fan by any means but I'm quite happy to have them.

I've started one now, EllanVannin

Not that I know of Callistemon. I just thought I'd throw it in for good measure

I have just seen him accompanying the Queen mainly and have had no real interest in him.

His acceptance of taking the role of consort years earlier that was expected.

The Duke of Edinburgh Awards

His sense of humour

His kindness to my family and friends in Aberfan, at that time
and many times in the years following.

Oh, that is sad. She was a remarkable woman.

Has anyone started a thread?

Dame Shirley Williams has died too.She was 90. Lovely lady.

Nothing

Nothing

He was a very distant public figure. I mean no disrespect and I’m sorry when I hear of any death but he didn’t really mean anything to me.

Nothing

I quite liked what I saw of him, but none of us know what anyone in the limelight is really like. I didn’t watch any coverage either. No need for that at all, and I think he would have agreed! My friend’s dad died the day before, so I felt sad for her. There’s so much coverage over a 99 year old man, but none on the, I’m sure, countless other people who died that day.

I am a Republican, so he represented to me an arcane institution. He was in the enviable unelected position of being able to influence and support both the head of state and various charities that he supported.

Saying all that his (as well as the rest of the Windsor family) position is in our gift, so it makes no sense criticising him as an individual and the role he played within the RF.

Therefore given where we are, I think within his limitations, he played his role as consort to the best of his ability.

His notorious comments reflect his attitude and sense of entitlement.

I was especially annoyed that the final of Master Chef wasn't shown on the TV.

? Thank you Philip!
Every cloud has a silver lining.

Nothing and tbh I was heartily sick of the coverage of his death in the media. I was especially annoyed that the final of Master Chef wasn't shown on the TV.

I never gave him a thought.

Absolutely nothing, just an elderly man who d had a pretty good long life

He was the Queen's husband, loyal to the end.

He was an embarrassing racist.
