llap Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 The Duke of Edinburgh will meet Royal Marines in his final public engagement before he retires from royal duties. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-40798469 He will be sorely missed. I have always liked Prince Philip. He said it like it is and was never afraid to offend as many people as possible. He also served in active military duty during the war. All three are qualities I admire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Down Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 He is apparently going to do the odd engagement. As you say, he's no fan of PC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's retiring from a long life of outstanding service to this country. You think the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh are just on one long holiday? They are constantly planning, traveling to and taking part in public events. They work harder than most people. They also bring in huge amounts of revenue to the country. The Queen is a business woman as well as a monarch. She's not just sat there doing her knitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, that will be done for her too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The turn up where told to, speak to pre-picked people, watch pre-planned events and then fuck off back to the castle using transport provided for them.

No, I didn't think so. Having read most of the royal biographies and having always taken a keen interest in what they are up to, I know you are talking out of your rear end.

So the Royals don't have a massive staff of assistants and planners? Again your extensive "knowledge" is as usual flimsy. Met The Greek at Neatishead in 2002. He was steered into the room, introduced the SEngO and then steered off again to next section. All in all a very expensive waste of time and effort for some foreign benefit scrounger to inspect his toys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
