I came here as soon as I saw the CNN alert. Guess no one gets to be undead Duke for Halloween now?

About damn time.
Also, I'm giggling at the fact that they used a really old picture of him where he looks better (aka alive) instead of a recent photo.

It had to happen sometime soon, and yet it’s still weird. Felt like he would linger on forever somehow.
Cue “the stress of That Interview killed him!!!” stories. Bet the Daily Mail is awfully disappointed it wasn’t sooner so they could really draw that direct line.

Today is Charles and Camilla’s wedding anniversary. 😬 Oof. Wonder if it'll become Andrew and Fergie's new anniversary too. I could see him being an asshole enough to get remarried asap with the old guy out of the way.

I feel sad for the queen. Even if it was expected she must be heartbroken. I expect her health will decline quickly because of the heartache.

Honestly I wouldn’t be shocked if the news came out that they got married years ago and kept it a secret from everyone.

Although I bet Andrew wouldn't risk pissing off dear old dad and getting disowned.

If my family doesn’t do the same for me I will haunt them forever. When my grandma died we used a picture of her when she was a young woman for her obituary. It was actually really nice. Who wants to be remembered as they looked at the end of their life? I will do the same for my mom and my kids had better do it for me!

Two of my British friends have already said it's probably due to the stress with Harry. I refuse to comment but I'm not surprised.

I don’t think it will impact the Queen’s health necessarily. They’ve lived apart for years other than big functions and then some of the COVID lockdown. It’s sad for the family, but also not unexpected.

I'm sad for the queen because she lost her spouse even if he wasn't a great guy. But that's as far as my emotions go on this. Dude was ancient, of course it was going to happen at some point.

I feel for the Queen in that they had been together for so long and she’s loved him since a girl of 13.
I’m going to leave it there.

Exactly my feelings. She's basically been in love with him since she met him at 13 so that part of me feels sad for her. But that's about it.

Nymeria Yes. I would be pretty pissed to live to 99 and not make it to 100. I like even numbers. I don’t think Philip would really even be on my radar if not for The Crown. I really didn’t know much about him before that. I do find his life story pretty fascinating. He lived through so much and witnessed so much. The ghost of me will bang pots and pans and flash lights in my children’s houses every night at 2 a.m. until the end of time if they use a liver-spotted picture of my undead self at 99 for my obituary. Aim for 27, I peaked at 27.

They're finally admitting it, huh? Must've gotten tired of the Bernie's gig.
I'm sure that's rude/ in poor taste, but I feel nothing but a sense of...finality?

They pulled down the whole Royal Family website. It’s just his death announcement.
