A great man .

Must have been very hard at the outset of their marriage to see your young wife pulled into the role of the Queen at such a young age .

I think he kept thing together in the family , through extraordinary times in the UK , massive era of change , family tragedy and yes ,controversy .

At least one of his children should take note , maybe some others .

RIP

Still one of my all time Frankie Boyle jokes... A Greek married to a German, she must have an arse like a knackered cat flat

A man who has not had a job for 74 years since the age of 25 dies after a life on benefits, I'm sure the Daily Mail would have some comment to make about this!

Yes it must have been so hard to have been born into two royal families and then married into another. Very very hard for him.

Re: Duke of Edinburgh dies

Sorry for his family, but I don’t care even though broadly supporting the Royals as an entity. He meant little to me - apart from the Queen and Prince Charles, the royals matter not a jot to me. His grandchildren and great grandchildren I don’t give a damn about. Please don’t banish me to the Tower!

Not surprised, he looked like a sack of shit when he left hospital.

Mentally yes, not talking about hard work as in a 'job' or 'life' , he was heading for his dream role as chief of the Admiralty when all that happened and the queen only 5 years into the marriage take on her role , yes its out of our scope and world , yes they are privileged beyond belief , however must have effected him personally as his identity changed beyond recognition as a young man , he jsut got on wit it , you can see it did not fit easy form his mercurial manner and outbursts.

Massive conservationist back in the 80's he was banging on industrial and economic growth likely to badly effect nature in a bad way ,way before Greta

Can't get away from his image on Facebook, and worryingly on several advertising boards. Its like living in North Korea
