Hans Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 I met him In Begium in 1969, On a cross country Horse event. He was TOP. I think he had nice hobbies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John52 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Thought there was enough coverage elsewhere https://www.theguardian.com/media/2021/apr/10/bbc-flooded-with-complaints-over-prince-philip-coverage I never met him. So I only know whats put out in the media. I think his greatest legacy was letting the cameras in for the TV film - around 1969 I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Uzzell Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Of course Pete-B’s posting had no relevance to motorhomes and, consequently, did not meet the criteria for being added to the Motorhome Matters forum. I had hoped that - after a day’s inactivity - Pete’s posting was going to slip quietly down the Motorhome Matters home-page without any further comment. But as that hasn’t happened I’ve frozen the thread and I’ll move it to Chattterbox later and unfreeze it. (Now moved from Motorhome Matters...)

malc d Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 John52 - 2021-04-11 1:53 PM I'll try again *-) What is so special about that family? Their job. Head of State. Monarch . etc. ( NOT a job I would like to have ). I suppose we could choose someone like Donald Trump every 4 or 5 years - but I think I'll stick with a Monarchy. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John52 Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 malc d - 2021-04-11 3:38 PM NOT a job I would like to have thats another reason for an elected head of state - if they don't want the job they don't have to stand for election Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple. Most of us could just ignore them. Bit more difficult for the armed services as they are expected to be very deferential. :-| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our armed forces are under the control of elected politicians.
