It isn't just HRH though is it? I suppose with him it is rather different, all the news was about his "retirement" thankfully, and not his death. I remember when Elvis Presley died, apart from the over-playing of his stuff on the radio, and I am not a fan, the rest of the offerings were very funereal. The same with Frank Sinatra. At least Prince Philip did not record any songs. What I am trying to say is that there will always be news that does not interest everybody, just get over it.
