The bbc just mentioned that we owe him a greater debt than we can ever calculate.
Sorry, but i have to take issue with that. He's a professional hand shaker thats been f
king some woman from romsey for the last few years.
Allegedly.
He served with distinction in World War II, that fact alone makes you an idiot.Sorry, but i have to take issue with that. He's a professional hand shaker thats been f

Just read his wikipedia for ww2 service. Sounds pretty good if a little embellished. I'll have to have a more thorough read in some more reputable places.
Always a little cynical when a member of the royal family receives military decoration.
There is quite a lot that he has done. Always a little cynical when a member of the royal family receives military decoration.
When she became the Queen he had to give up working but created his own job from within his official role.
It's well worth reading up on him as it does give some relevance to much of his contempt for many things.
Genuinely interesting.
I think it's a real shame. He might not always say the right thing (actually he mostly does, but because the world is now so PC, it's reported that he's said the wrong thing) but at least he says what he really thinks
If the worst happens (and I for one hope it doesn't) what are he chances of the queen abdicating? More importantly, if she did, can we at least hope that Charles hands the crown straight to William - if he doesn't we'll all have to refer to that old trout Camilla as the queen....

I very much believe he took his role and guidance from Albert's work before him. An Alpha male come natural leader prepared to devote his efforts to supporting his wife and sovereign and to stop himself from turning into a vegetable created other tasks and roles to fulfill himself.
Much to admire and respect about the man and I do mean Man.

I'm pretty sure she was quite definite on never abdicating, ever.If the worst happens (and I for one hope it doesn't) what are he chances of the queen abdicating? More importantly, if she did, can we at least hope that Charles hands the crown straight to William - if he doesn't we'll all have to refer to that old trout Camilla as the queen....
However, things do change.

No on all three counts....If the worst happens (and I for one hope it doesn't) what are he chances of the queen abdicating? More importantly, if she did, can we at least hope that Charles hands the crown straight to William - if he doesn't we'll all have to refer to that old trout Camilla as the queen....

She wouldn't be queen for the same reason Phil isn't king. If the worst happens (and I for one hope it doesn't) what are he chances of the queen abdicating?

Plus, being the monarch is a s
t job. No father would stitch up their son and condemn them to that bks earlier than they needed to. Guam said:

He wasnt a member of the British Royal Family during his Military service in ww2 He was a member of the Greek Royal Family, renouncing those titles in 1947.Always a little cynical when a member of the royal family receives military decoration.
Any decorations gained in WW2 were earned I think you will find.
Like him or not, he appears to have lead a very interesting life.
