The Queen has been married to him for 75 years. Sadly in this kind of situation the surviving partner usually passes not long afterwards.
My thoughts as well. Charles could very well find himself in charge sooner rather than later.

Ill miss ol Phil and his craziness that he some how always got away with. Some of his classics:

“If you stay here much longer, you will go home with slitty eyes,” he remarked to 21-year-old British student Simon Kerby during a visit to China in 1986.
“I would like to go to Russia very much – although the bastards murdered half my family,” he said in 1967 when asked if he would like to visit the Soviet Union.
“You can’t have been here that long, you haven’t got a pot belly,” said to a British tourist in Budapest , Hungary in 1993.
“Aren’t most of you descended from pirates?” he asked residents of the Cayman Islands in 1994.
“Do you still throw spears at each other?” he asked Aboriginal leader William Brin at the Aboriginal Cultural Park in Queensland in 2002.
“All money nowadays seems to be produced with a natural homing instinct for the Treasury,” he said talking about high taxes in 1963.
“We go into the red next year… I shall probably have to give up polo,” he moaned about the Royal Family’s finances on US television in 1969.
“Deaf? If you’re near there, no wonder you are deaf,” he mused loudly to deaf children standing near a Caribbean steel drum band in 2000.
“Do you know they have eating dogs for the anorexic now?” he told a wheelchair-bound Susan Edwards with her guide dog Natalie in 2002.
“Do people trip over you?” he asked a wheelchair-bound nursing-home resident in 2002.
“How many people have you knocked over this morning on that thing?” he asked mobility scooter user David Miller, a trustee of the Valentine Mansion in Redbridge, in 2012.
“You are a woman, aren’t you?” he asked woman in Kenya in 1984.
“People think there’s a rigid class system here, but dukes have even been known to marry chorus girls. Some have even married Americans,” he said in 2000.
“Do you have any knickers in that material?” he asked Scottish Tory leader Annabel Goldie in 2010, while they were admiring tartan made for the Pope.
“Ah, so this is feminist corner then,“ he asked a group of female Labour MPs whose name badges read “Ms” at a Buckingham Palace drinks party in 2000.
“I thought it was against the law these days for a woman to solicit,” he told a woman solicitor.
“You’re not wearing mink knickers, are you?” Philip ASKS fashion writer Serena French at a World Wildlife Fund gathering in 1993.
“Who do you sponge off?” he asked women at a community centre in Barking and Dagenham in 2015.
“Yak, yak, yak; come on get a move on,” Prince Philip said to the Queen from the deck of Britannia in Belize in 1994. Her Majesty was talking to her hosts.
“Young people are the same as they always were. They are just as ignorant,” he said while celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Duke of Edinburgh Awards scheme.
“So who’s on drugs here?… HE looks as if he’s on drugs,” he said referring to a 14-year-old member of a Bangladeshi youth club in 2002.
“You could do with losing a little bit of weight,” he told hopeful astronaut Andrew Adams, 13.
“Holidays are curious things, aren’t they? You send children to school to get them out of your hair. Then they come back and make life difficult for parents. That is why holidays are set so they are just about the limit of your endurance,” he told schoolchildren in 2000.
“How do you keep the natives off the booze long enough to pass the test?” he asked a Scottish driving instructor in 1995. (My favourite)
“The problem with London is the tourists. They cause the congestion. If we could just stop the tourism, we could stop the congestion,” he said at the opening of City Hall in 2002.
“And what exotic part of the world do you come from?” he asked Tory politician Lord Taylor of Warwick in 1999. “Birmingham,” the MP replied.
“Only a Scotsman can really survive a Scottish education,” he said when he was made Chancellor of Edinburgh University in November 1953.
“You have mosquitoes. I have the Press,” he joked to the matron of a hospital in the Caribbean in 1966.
“Where are you from?” he asked the editor of the Sun, before replying: “Oh, no…one can’t tell from the outside.”
“Oh! You are the people ruining the rivers and the environment,” he told three young employees of a Scottish fish farm at Holyrood Palace in 1999.
“If you travel as much as we do you appreciate the improvements in aircraft design of less noise and more comfort. Provided you don’t travel in something called Economy Class, which sounds ghastly,” he said to the Aircraft Research Association in 2002.
“Are you all one family?” he asked of multi-ethnic dance troupe Diversity at the Royal Variety Performance in 2009.
“Is it a strip club?” he asked a female Sea Cadet who told him she worked in a nightclub.
“Why don’t you go and live in a hostel to save cash?” he asked a penniless student in 1998.
“The Philippines must be half empty, you’re all here running the NHS,” he said to a Filipino nurse at Luton and Dunstable University Hospital in February 2016.
“It looks like a tart’s bedroom,” he said of plans for the Duke and then Duchess of York’s house at Sunninghill Park.
“It looks like the kind of thing my daughter would bring back from her school art lessons,” he said of “primitive” Ethiopian art in 1965.

Some odd people on the Caf. Like the kids at school who feel being naughty gives them status or something..

Anyway despite what you think of him as a person, or the institution he was part of, someone has now been widowed and a family have lost a loved one.

The Queen has been married to him for 75 years. Sadly in this kind of situation the surviving partner usually passes not long afterwards.

As good a place to post this as ever, what is the point of the royal family and why does it still exist? Such an archaic concept and entirely pointless and just a drain on resources.

Fare thee well, you massive racist wax jacket.
I mean, given who he was and the types of politically incorrect things he said during his life, this is an extremely fitting salute to the man.

The amount of people that have died before their time this year will make the upcoming newspaper grieffest for a 99 year old rich man even more obscene.

As people like him die, the country becomes that little bit more progressive.
