Prince Philip dies aged 99
By the Queen’s side for seven decades, Prince Philip has been around for as long as almost all of us can remember. Remarkably, he was the oldest-ever male member of the British royal family and the longest-serving consort in history.
And yet his life had begun in a very contemporary fashion - an infant refugee from the country of his birth, carried by boat across the Mediterranean. He was also the man who modernised the monarchy, encouraging interaction with ordinary people - an approach embraced by his grandsons. But throughout all those years, he told anyone who would listen that his central role was to support the Queen. And it was a mutual reliance. Elizabeth has described Philip as her "strength and stay" and said she and the country owed him a debt greater than he would ever claim "or we would ever know".

Prince Philip was alive for 99 years, almost 100. You can only imagine all of the things he has seen, changes in the world, wars, etc. It is very sad when someone like that dies. It is like an old library that has collected many books over the years burning down.
I agree, wouldn’t have been nice to talk with him about history.
De Mortuis Nil Nisi Bonum, I, Fac Et Hic Exceptio ...
he's racist
Was closer to 100 than 99 and on the record he is 1921-2021 so it’s 100
Can we please call him a King. This entire ordeal was sexist towards him. He deserved that title. And I respect the Queen too. The Gov't had a problem calling people with their true titles that's why the last King stepped down because he loved his wife.....
I liked his directness, his sense of humour, charm and how he didn’t take things too seriously, he seems very real, very human
exactly
@Lakshya yeah it was one of the best aspects, proud of him

@@lewisnoodles9357 what are you saying and what is your point.
A wonderful man who understood what responsibilities came with marrying the queen. He never wavered. He even walked 2 paces behind his wife. A true gentleman, a true love indeed.
Hi, how are you?
You know what I admire about Prince Philip. That he, unlike lesser men, accepted that his wife was the more important figure. A lot of men cannot accept that their wife/girlfriend earn more money than then never mind being Queen. But he accepted his role with grace, humour and dignity. A great man and an example for all men.
@British Pride I disagree. A man who is confident in himself, knows himself, and respects his wife knows he is not diminished by her roles, responsibilities or achievements. He knows his self worth and the respect he gains from his wife because he doesnt have to diminish her to elevate himself. I for one respect him enormously for the role he has played and the work he has done, most of which has been done quietly and without fanfare. He had a very complicated life and great tragedy, he served this country actively in WW2, with his family on the other side, his family scattered and enormous personal loss. He stepped up to the plate to support his wife in her role and carve out his own place. He worked all his life in public service and did not retire until his 90s, putting duty before all else. In my estimation he deserves respect for his service both to the country and to his wife in her role as Queen and Head of State, and in her words, he helped her more than we will ever know.
So he was a pansy
@British Pride I can disagree as much as I like! There are small men who feel diminished by their partners successes, but there are plenty more who are not. Jealousy is a petty emotion, spite even more so. Women do best to avoid men who are petty and begrudge them successes, whether at work or at home, and should choose a man who will cheer her on, be proud of her and stick by her, just like she does for him. A team. A woman who doesn't support her partners successes is just as bad and I think men should avoid women who are petty and jealous of their achievements as well. Its miserable being in a relationship with someone who doesnt cheer you on and support you doing well and constantly undermines you, even though you support them.
@GeneralCurtis3LeMay I suggest people look that up for themselves. His sisters, at very young ages, were married off to German princes, some of whom were involved with the Nazis and some were just caught up just like every German was. When he had to make a call, he joined the British Navy and served Britain against the Nazis. I dont think you can doubt a man who joined up to fight against the side the rest of his family were associated with by marriage. No one is responsible for the actions of their relatives, they are only accountable for their own choices, and he chose to fight against them. He could have gone off to Monaco, Switzerland, Spain pr Portugal or the USA...but he didnt. He stayed and fought for this country.
@GeneralCurtis3LeMay No, the USA contributed to WW2, alongside many, many other countries who worked together to defeat the Nazis and the Japanese empire. The USA has indeed done extremely well and I have no desire to do anything except acknowledge that, even whilst the USA also needs to acknowledge historical events that are less than perfect in it's own very recent history. However, it's a complex picture and the USA, like nearly every other country, has been responsible for both bad and good in its history. In terms of Brexit, it would e interesting to see if the USA aims to join the EU, as you clearly think it such a shining beacon of marvellous ness, I cant imagine why the USA isnt clamouring to get in.
Whether we choose to mourn or not, we can agree he lived a full and fascinating life one can only dream about. Think about the many changes he has seen, the technological advances that were made, the famous people he met that are now gone, and the important historical events he has personally witnessed during his time. Ninety-nine years of life is amazing in itself.
He lived off his wife for over 70 years
@@msbrownbeast he isn't the first nor the last.
@@msbrownbeast he had a heavily decorated naval career and was on track to become the head of the royal navy on his own. He would have been fine without her.
@@msbrownbeast Lived off his wife? He gave up a premier glittering Naval career built on nothing but talent and skill to marry the love of his life and become a consort.
sure, non working morons with small percent of English blood, he has a little bit, they all grew up without love, cold men, I saw himlong ago
They were married almost 74 years. Elizabeth fell for him when she was 13......82 years ago. He was the only man she ever loved. His death will definitely take a toll on her. He was her “strength and stay”. Prayers for HM and RIP Prince Phillip. 🙏🏻
they were cousins and she was 13 and he was 18. wicked family
@@user-go3jv8rw7i - 3rd cousins, which is legally permitted marriage, and religiously permitted. That’s not a close relative. They corresponded and were never alone, until she was almost 20. There are many religions and civilizations that permit marriage with closer relatives than that. Referring to their marriage as wicked, shows you are the wicked one.
@@kaymuldoon3575 - yes, precisely. People with no knowledge of anything useful, like Irish Republican, love to give their opinion. They need to do that to make themselves feel as if they have some self-worth. FAIL
It's been one year now and😔
@@ajjajk - There was a photo of them about 10 years ago, they were of course well advanced in age, but looking at each other with such love and devotion. Beautiful. I’d like to think when Elizabeth closed her eyes on this earth, she opened them in Heaven as a beautiful 21 year old and 26 year old Phillip was there, hand extended, to join him forever. 💕
They were truly love birds... Queen hardly managed to survive for a year without him.... true love ...R.I.P Queen and her Prince..
The longest consort in history. He never outshined her and her strength and stay as she stated through the years. He worked tirelessly throughout his life understanding what duty meant and a wonderful companion to the Queen for over 70 years. The county is mourning a great man. My Condolences to the Queen and entire Royal family. Rest in peace.

He spoke many sexist and racist comments. You think that is truth!!!!! Sad for you.

@@pedanticradiator1491 72 years, 110 days. Or very close to that
@@judephoenix thanks I wasnt exactly sure how long
@@pedanticradiator1491 The Queen might still overtake King Louis XIV! Though in all fairness that wouldn't be an impressive accomplishment especially since she didn't directly rule the country or had war for most of her reign like he did and the toll on health that comes with that, and most importantly she had the benefit of modern medicine all her life, unlike old monarchs, heck, the Queen's father wouldn't have died at age 56 if medicine was a little more advanced at the time!
He was so dependable and steadfast in all matters. The greatest soul mate the queen could ever wish for. RIP Prince Philip sir.

Hi, how are you?
Loosing loved ones at old age tends to take them away both. Hope the queen stays strong and previel!
Sadly true. I fear the queen too will pass very soon. I remember my neighbour lost his wife of about 60 years. A week later we found him dead in his house 🥺 had passed away of a heart attack. 70 years of undying love and now they are apart. Even longer since she often admitted to being fond of him as a teenager

STFU
It’s true😌
A responsible father, a great grandfather, a loyal husband and the noble face of the royal family.
queen really loves him so much that sometimes she cannot hide it when performing her royal duty and Prince Philip adore and very protective of her that he would do anything to support her duty as the queen that she actually didn't want it.
Prince Phillip was there for 99 years. I’m watching his Funeral in a coffin 😰😨😥😭. Rest in Peace for him. Was born in 1921 😞. He was a great Prince.
(almost) 100 years old and he looked always handsome
well, maybe we could agree on the fact that he was always well put together and adequately dressed.
Simply gorgeous.
How many present have shed a tear? Mine are few but my grief itself speaks a lot more than my face. However, there is no other person more distraught than Her Majesty the Queen. RIP, Your Royal Highness.
I did not cry as if he was my family, but I did shed a tear as I would when any good person dies. My empathy for the queen is overwhelming though
