I suppose this means the little **** in the USA and his gold-digging floosie will have to come over. That should be interesting.
RIP Prince Philip, a real character who always had time for a chat and a quip with us servicemen whenever we saw him.
One of his best reported comebacks was to an Australian Immigration Official who jokingly asked him if he had any criminal convictions --Prince Philip quickly replied asking "Is that still a requirement for entry into the country?"

man/thing...was a total fruitloop.
Thieves and Fakes !
State Funeral? Hard to keep those numbers attending down to less than thirty.
I see the floosie's not coming over. Probably the wisest move she's made this year, possibly the only one.
Although I can not be described as a royalist, I do feel sympathy for the Queen losing her partner of 73 years. As for Prince Harry it is his grandfather after all. The interview with Oprah was recorded before Prince Philip's illness and hospitalisation, most likely they had no control over when it was broadcast. Following that interview Harry was quick to exonerate both grandparents of any racism, and the Queen as said the family will investigate privately. If one of my aunts or uncles made such a remark about my expected son I think I would have done more than just walk away. Hopefully the royal family can use this time to reconcile the two brothers which is probably what their mother would have wished for had she been alive.
Just hope the Queen can continue to reign, as I feel Charles, as king wishing to install his wife as Queen Camila would present a constitutional crisis.

I would think with any parents/family of mixed race, different skin colours, speculation about what colour the baby will turn out to be is perfectly normal, it would be a weird family that didn't discuss it, or at least wonder about it. And of course they just made a vague accusation of racism, if one of the Royal Family is racist, why should they be allowed to get away with it, they should name him or her, but they haven't got the courage to do that, they just play the race card and allow the cloud to hang over all of them. A vile, despicable couple of money-grubbers, the Queen is well shut of the pair of them.
