Prince Phillip leaves hospital

Suzie I was joking.
'Do keep up', indeed, I don't know why you enjoy being rude
I am the same person who you are nice to on other threads you know

Whether it was public knowledge or not Fanny, which it isn't by the way, why on earth did you think it was appropriate to mention it in a thread about how the DoE had left hospital?

He's a real person who has been ill. Even a radical republican like me thinks he deserves some privacy and respect at a time like this.

It’s hardly unusual for some men from any walk of life to have
a bit on the side

Annie
I know what you are referring to, and thank you for that, it's good that you are here

Mine had better not, Anniebach!

Anniebach

No FannyCornforth I know why many have left or rarely
post, not because they took topics too seriously, because of
the nastiness which is on this forum daily. and it is only one thread which causes me to stay

Why does it matter who’s left or who doesn’t post? I honestly don’t get it. Others come along, most stay. I think there are examples of ‘nastiness’ across the board ( not everyone obvs) but not everyone is capable of addressing their own shortcomings in this respect whilst swift to condemn others.

Depends how you measure ‘unusual’ I suppose and if because some do it, it makes it acceptable

I just treat this place as a virtual pub replacement to be honest
I type exactly the same things that I would say to a bunch of mates
I do my best to be polite and not offend any of the punters, but I definitely don't give a toss about upsetting the Duke of Edinburgh of all people (should he on the off chance be reading GN).
And I also didn't realise that affairs were so taboo these days.

Thank you FannyCornforth , I will post off topic and I hope
I will be forgiven.

3 years last November 1st I sat alone clutching a box of painkillers and my iPad, I chose the iPad and because of the lovely people here then, I didn’t die.

I wouldn’t give much hope for anyone reaching out here now

Annie you will be pleased to know that in my experience I have found much support and kindness here of late, and I know that others do feel the same.
I'm so, so glad that you chose the iPad ?

I’m really pleased the Duke has left hospital. He looked frail last year on a previous photo I saw of him so not surprised he looks even more so after a month of illness.
Wishing him well and I hope he and the Queen are together. They will hopefully celebrate 70 years of marriage in November. By “aristocratic” comparisons their marriage has been a massive success.

Apologies - correcting myself - they will have been married 74 years in November 2021.

Anniebach so pleased that you chose your iPad, you were so kind and welcoming to me when I first started posting.

GrannyGravy I remember, glad you are still here x

If I thought Orlin had ever had a bit on the side he’d be speaking with a very high pitched voice and sitting alone in a manky bed sit by now.

Sorry Annie I messed your earlier post. I’m another who is very glad you chose your iPad

I can imagine the deep relationship the Queen and the Duke
surely have, she has to greet someone and he is the one person
through 73 years to whom she can say - oh hell a bloody boring hour ahead

FannyCornforth are you saying that only "male members of the aristocracy" take lovers? Female members don't, non aristocratic men and women don't? Do you have proof that Prince Philip has an "interesting" love life, or are you only repeating gossip? I have no idea of the truth of the matter one way or the other but yours is a rather sweeping statement!

Whatever indiscretions on either side - which there may or may not have been- I read that the Queen made it very clear to Philip when they married that divorce would not be an option to them.

Annie another one who's glad you're here. Noli illegitimi carborundum lovely . x

Annie I’m glad you chose your iPad too. Hang in there and I hope you’re feeling better now.

I’m pleased to see that he has been allowed to go home, and hope that with rest in his own home he will soon start to look stronger.

Thank you LauraNorder. NellG

Puzzler I doubt the queen had to make it clear there was to be no divorce

Fanny I haven't been on GN for very long but I am truly amazed at how some people here have such a blind allegiance to the RF. Phillip met Romsey while carriage riding and this has been commented on greatly in RF friendly newspapers over the years. Don't see why your comment offends on here.

I too am glad GN helped you Annie. I am equally sure that were anyone to reach out in distress they would receive support And kindness. As Fanny has said.
Asking for and offering help is different to contributing to controversial threads
