RIP - Prince Phllip
 

.

placeholder? :D

Eh, came across the phone. But I don't post from phone. There's plenty of outlets to peruse if you want more detail.

Sad, but can't have surprised anyone. 99yo and in poor health for a bit.

About time.

Too Soon?

99 ****ing years old. Well done, Phil

RIP guy who didn't do anything in his life to earn his success except be born into "Royalty." I hope Diana kicks you in your shriveled sack when she sees you.

Phillip Gaines? We barely knew ye.

Some would say Purple Rain was one of the greatest albums ever.

RIP Prince.

I can't understand why you would give Diana a pass. She was a spoiled little rich girl born into the aristocracy that married into the royal family. The royal family sucks and prince Charles treated her badly, but she was part of that institution too.

ETA - Otherwise, I'm right there with you. I can't understand why Americans have such a fascination with the royal family. They represent everything that our system despises. They are feudalistic lords that are expressly forbidden by the US constitution.

Great....more Meghan and Harry Bullshit will be in the Headlines for weeks.

I am with you all, I do not get it. If my taxes went to help support that family I would be pissed.

I couldn't give a **** about this guy if I really wanted to

**** the Royals

**** the brits and their stupid royal family. They can all **** right off and die.

The Lizard King kicked the bucket.

It's really not all that unlike many people currently living in Washington DC but that's a conversation for another day and another subforum.

RIP

His Super Bowl half-time show was awesome.

I COULD CARE LESS... BUT NOT BY MUCH

He lived a good life.

That is all....

Shouldn't be talking about politicians in a Prince Philip thread.

Prince William ain’t do it right if you ask me - if I were him I woulda Mary Kate and Ashley.

Betty White laughing

He just did.

Is he the guy that's banging Kate?

This damages my theory that the royal family has an eternal life elixir that I can steal.

Wait, I don't suppose he got hit by a bus or maybe had a hang gliding accident, did he?

This!
We exist because his ilk wanted to rule over us like we were little kids unable to self determine our own fate.

:hmmm:

Sounds like a political party.

I'll always remember him for this ->:evil:http://youtu.be/YXOmXt7R_U0:evil:

Shoot, you guys are harsh.

RIP

Maybe they’ll put in him in a can just like they did his brother.

Did he though?

I bet he hadn't raw dogged the Queen since their honeymoon, and maybe not even then

I bet his Land Rover is relieved he won’t be behind the wheel anymore

That's a better place to be than where they put Prince Albert.

Yeh chaps r all going to smoke a terd in hell 4 yakking smack about my Brits

:clap:

Who?


Never heard of him!

With his position and wealth, I imagine that he received services from the 1,000 most common women's names in England.

I never thought about this, but if I was a rich single celebrity working the circuit a la Wilt Chamberlain or Charlie Sheen, I'd download every January 1st a list of the most common girl names from 25 years earlier and see how many I could mark off that year. It would be a fun hobby.

So she's on the market.

LMAO

He was placed in an orange crate as an infant and smuggled out of Greece to escape those hunting his father. Then got to live a long life forever after. In luxury even. Good job Prince Phillip, may you Rest in Peace.

Shocking. He looked so healthy in recent photos. Take advantage of every day, you never know which one might be your last.

Still looks better than Al Davis when he died

Mother went insane and he got deposed and removed from his country at a young age by military communists. Father loved whores and french wine. Abandoned the family. He came from worse circumstances than 90% of the "black and brown" privileged suburban marxsts.

When he's been dead a hundred years he'll look better than Al Davis did most of his life.

Taken too late.

**** the royal family.

Al Davis looked like a mole's nutsack for the last 40 years of his life. His son is continuing the legacy.

I don’t get the American fascination with British royalty. We left that shit 250 years ago. Having said that, he apparently had quite the way with words:

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/p...-b1829205.html

Among his greatest quotes:

“You managed not to get eaten then?" To a British student who had trekked in Papua New Guinea, during an official visit in 1998

“How do you keep the natives off the booze long enough to pass the test?" Asked of a Scottish driving instructor in 1995.

“Aren't most of you descended from pirates?" In the Cayman Islands, 1994.

How come he wasn't King? Because he married into the family and wasn't a Windsor?



(not that the Windsor's are Windsors, but that's another issue)

Appears the chap had the teeth for the job.

Why did they need to tape his ear on?
sec

I never paid much attention, but I think the crown is passed through bloodline if possible, right? So she was in line for the crown and he just happened to marry her. The bloodline then went down to Charles.

I'm sure there's some scenario where he could have gotten it, maybe if she didn't have kids or something. But again, I've never really looked into it since I think I'm not anywhere high in the chain of succession.

How can you be that rich, and still not fix those nasty ****ing teeth?

YOR A RIGHT CHEEKY ****, AREN'TYA? I'LL BLEED YOUR FACE, I SWEAR ON ME MUM *loose tooth falls out*

That's what I'm assuming. He was Dutch royalty, iirc, so clearly it was a marriage of convenience to stop those two countries from nuking each other. I'm guessing.

It was a job requirement.

If you're chained in a dungeon and the king comes down to threaten you and mock you, which is more terrifying? A king with perfect teeth or a king with crooked teeth?

Yes, and I ****ing hate that I knew/know that...

According to NPR in the car, formal refusal of any claim to succession was a condition of the marriage. So apparently, without that refusal there might have been [or would arise from the union] a claim somehow. Beyond that, I don't know. Just that it was something that had to be negotiated to wed.

So does that mean that all of the other people in England are ahead of him in line for the throne? If he was one of only two people left after a big meteor strike, the other person would be his king or queen?

He's likely buried in the "other" graveyard behind Buckingham Palace.

Yes, that's correct. It's all to do with the gross bloodline. For example, the present Queen's mother was just some trollop, not a royal. She married George 189th, or something, who was a royal. But, she was never Queen. She was the Queen Consort, and once Elizabeth became Queen, she was known as the Queen Mother.

If the present monarch dies without a child, they have some weird break down where the closest royal family member gets the job. But always royal blood.

Royal Lizard blood

4. Royal Genetics

And Queen Victoria became Empress of India. She never even ****ing went there, you know?

She was one of our more frumpy queens… they're all frumpy, aren't they? Because it's a bad idea when cousins marry! Bottom of the gene pool, you know. You're just scraping the barrel there, “We've haven't got enough for any more of you royals there, sorry.” First rule of genetics: spread the genes apart! But the royals are just obsessed with, "Are you a royal family? Are you a royal member? Well, then you can marry me ‘cause you're same gene pool, and our IQs will go down the toilet.” Fantastic! That's why there's no crazy royals, they're all kind of, "Hello! Hello, what do you do? You're a plumber! What on Earth is that?"

Whenever the reigning monarch dies, they should have a tournament to pick the new one. You have the following decathlon and pick the winner accordingly. All of the people of the land compete.

1. IQ test
2. Knowledge and use of proper etiquette
3. Fighting (men) and sexual prowess (women)
4. Archery
5. World and British geography quiz
6. Physical appearance (attractiveness, photogenic-ity, and regality categories. Bonus for being infertile so we can have the contest more often.)
7. Obstacle course while wearing a crown
8. Swordsmanship (men) and sexual prowess (women - this event counts double)
9. Interior design and architecture (via a "design your castle" contest)
10. Ability to give inspiring speeches in the event of war or Viking invasion.

You need to work jousting into the mix.

Exhibit a of not knowing wtf you’re talking about lol
