Apparently, Meghan Markle killed him
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Makes sense. Being 99 years old is purely coincidental.

I didn't know much of anything about Prince Phillip other than a couple bits in sketches by Eddie Izzard until I watched The Crown (yeah, I know it's based on real events but not historical). I really didn't have an opinion of him other than I liked the guy who played the young Phillip better than the one who played the older version.
I do feel sort of bad for Queen Elizabeth, 70+ years is a long damn time to be married to someone. I'm sure, while his passing was not a shock, it's still a loss for her.

Bound to be, they really seemed to like each other.

Especially when that person was Phil the Teuto-Greek.

And after a week or so of being on life support, DMX is officially dead.

Couldn’t have been easy on a Danish Greek marrying into a family of Germans.

Talking about movies/ tv-shows that portray the Royal Family but are not historical, I wish they made one where the Royal Family surpasses their chauvinism and makes friends with a black newcomer to the family.

Well, if the interviews were any indication ( Harry and Meghan point-blank refused to criticize her in the otherwise damning interview), the Queen herself seems to have done so. At least that’s more than can be said about Prince Charles.

The Brits bet on everything. Is there a line on how long QE will last without him?
