green job Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I think Prince Philip is the greatest. He was never one to be discrete with his thoughts and words and because he don`t give a rat`s behind what anyone thinks, he`s always got away with it as no one dare answer him back, the man commands respect. Wonderful, 94 years old and still doing the rounds. Don`t care about his ancestry, for me he is the front person for what being British is all about. I love our British Royal family as much as the Thais love their monarch and can`t help feeling patriotic every time I see them. The Duke of Edinburgh is someone that has to be admired, long may the Queen and the Prince reign.

Neither him nor any other member of his family with all the medals on their chests fought in any wars. Well you're wrong aren't you. Philip fought in WW2. Andrew in Falklands. Harry in Afghanistan. And Queen Elizabeth (then Princess) was in the RTS like many other British females her age. There are others as well. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_service_by_the_members_of_the_British_Royal_Family I know they were there, but did they actually fight? Were they in among the bombs and bullets? If they were and I'm wrong, then I stand to be corrected. Yes,they did. DID you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickBradford Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I know they were there, but did they actually fight? Were they in among the bombs and bullets? If they were and I'm wrong, then I stand to be corrected. You are quite wrong (as though you could care) Prince Andrew flew a helicopter which was acting as a decoy for Exocet missiles fired by the Argentine Air Force. i.e you hover above the sea in the dark, waiting for someone to fire a 670kg missile at you, so as to protect your ships. Prince Philip manned defensive weapons on ships at various battles in the Mediterranean - Battle of Sicily, Battle of Cape Matapan, for which he received a medal. Now do us all a favour and stop trolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he's been hunkering down in the hedge-rows for years I believe. Didn't know much about Phil the Greek until tonight and did a Wiki on him (but yes he did admiral service for the Commonwealth). After-all he doesn't exactly endear himself. Someone should produce a stand-up comedy stage show of his gaffs, prejudices and outbursts. Billy Connolly ?

geriatrickid Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Love Phil the Greek... He says what others wish they could say! Maybe fueled by some domestic differences between Phil the Greek and Liz the German (Saxe-Coburg and Gotha). The British Queen is half-Scottish. Her mum was Sottish. Prince Philip - A member of the House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg, Philip was born in Greece into the Greek and Danish royal families, but his family was exiled from Greece when he was an infant. He renounced his Greek and Danish titles when becoming a British citizen and marrying the then Princess Elizabeth. Not quite right, but you rarely are. Glad someone pointed out and corrected the ignorance. Thank you. Prince Philip did his duty in WWII and if he has spoken in the same manner as we do, good for him, Who can blame him when some idiot is disorganized and inconveniencing people, some of whom looked to be rather aged.

Yes! sometimes he does make a valid point or two,Unfortunately Worldwide Fund for Nature. doesn't cover Pheasant shoots covering 150,000 birds from his party, but basically he uses his position to take antagonistic pot shots at those that are not in a position to answer back,which after 50 years of listening to his mostly sanctimonious comments while he was hypocritically living off the state,and the ordinary people of whom he has so little regard for. Most of his comments are made for his own amusement,because he is a kept man and doesn't like his very obvious status! PS Obviously Pheasants do not have the same status for Prince Phillip as Domestic Cats! http://www.independent.co.uk/news/royals-shooting-passion-draws-bad-blood-1315283.html http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/prince-philip-leaves-hospital--98811 Edited July 11, 2015 by MAJIC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABCer Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Not being British I must say I like and respect practically all the Royal Family members. In this particular instance - Prince Philip "didn't let fly..." - he used a precise word you and I would use when annoyed. Royals are people. Hate those who first put them up on a pedestal to kiss their ass then pull them down for "letting fly.. a word or a fart". As a human being, as a man Prince Philip is much better than most of us here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On being told it took him 15 seconds to take the photo. My guess the photo should have been taken 10 minutes earlier.

Neither him nor any other member of his family with all the medals on their chests fought in any wars. Where do you get such nonsense from, If you had cared to check, Prince Philip joined the Royal Navy in 1939 at the age of 18 and served in both the European and Pacific theatres of war. A similar check on many of his children and Grand Children would reveal that many have served in front line positions in recent conflicts including the Falklands War and Afganistan. How can such an 'advanced member', offer an opinion on something they obviously have a complete lack of knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither him nor any other member of his family with all the medals on their chests fought in any wars. Well you're wrong aren't you. Philip fought in WW2. Andrew in Falklands. Harry in Afghanistan. And Queen Elizabeth (then Princess) was in the RTS like many other British females her age. There are others as well. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_service_by_the_members_of_the_British_Royal_Family Wouldn't give you tuppence for Harry. His stint in Afghanistan involved sitting in the most secure place in the country. We never saw this of course : one day he made a quick trip to a machine gun and sat posing as if he was ready to fire it and it was in every newspaper and news report. Utter hypocrisy. Not his fault I know but is a pointer to the BS we get fed to maintain the Royal Family (or rather the privileged thousands who benefit from them).
