All this fawning and effusions about Prince Philip is mere virtue signalling.

When the Queen dies, that’ll be worth the mourning. Prince Charles and Andrew? Not worth a half-penny. The rest of them, nobodies to merit disruption to the norms.

While I’m at it, the near-State funeral for Maggie was entirely justified.

You’re missing Masterchef, the titular head of our country is missing her husband of 73 years.

Priorities?

(not a huge Royalist, but understand/sympathise with those who are)

What’s the 160 years got to do with anything? A man of 99 has died. A worthy man indeed by all accounts. But 8 days of national mourning? That’s ridiculous.

My priority was Masterchef; instead it’s wall-to-wall Prince Philip and extremely tedious.

My condolences obviously go to the Queen, whom Prince Philip wasn’t.
