So since Prince Phillip is dead, does that mean that Prince Charles takes his place as the Queens husband?

I am a bit murky on the order of royal succession.

Yes. But still, I can't help thinking her heart must be breaking. And he's been the consort since 1952. That's longer than most of us have been alive.

And I believe his family had all died, the last being Lord Mountbatten in the 70s so she was really his whole family, you know?

Don't be so cavalier. He was in the prime of his life. Decades lay ahead of him. He leaves a son behind that is barely able to take care of himself on his own.

No no no. That's not how it works at all.

I've already been banned from Britain by Parliament for making an off color joke about Spotted Dick.

Timing is everything. Chances are if you had made it when Spiro Agnew was Vice President, you'd be okay.

No announcement on the BBC. Main story is the rise in men being treated for anorexia / bulimia

The story is six weeks old, but maybe you will like it, it's about everything that must happen when she goes,

I'm going to sleep now. I can't stay up any more and I'm in terrible pain.

The Duke of Edinburgh is retiring from royal duties this autumn, Buckingham Palace has announced.

The decision was made by Prince Philip himself and is supported by the Queen, a palace spokesman said.

Prince Philip turns 96 next month.

As you were. Charles isn't ascending just yet.

He's not dead?

Yay!  :cheerlead: :dancer:

He's an old man. Let him enjoy what ever time he has left.

Maybe he can play with the corgis or something, although I think she likes them. I see him more as a refined gentleman with big dogs. Not horses, that's Anne's and Zara's thing.

Thanks @EC

Actually, doesn't Charles want to be George VII not Charles III?

The monarchy hasn't had good luck with kings named Charles. ESpecially Charles I
