Thank you, Mr. Nicholas!

 

Oh my! I had forgotten how every dead celeb thread always begins with the “He had a hot ass but he couldn’t live forever.” line! ?

 

I suppose I should finish up a few work things before sinking into the rabbit hole on DL ?

Good for DL Meghan to request when his will might be read. She is no fool.

Phillip was in a serious traffic accident at 97 and was out driving the next day. German.

My heart goes out to The Queen. Both she and Prince Philip epitomize devotion to duty and public service.

[Guest]

I always found the younger Philip very attractive. Too bad it didn't really pass down to his children.

I kind of drifted away from my daily DL in the lead up to the election, but reading through Phil’s thread, it’s like I never left! lol Pointless bitchery that is on point! ?

So, Channel 9 News here is making this confident prediction about the Prince's funeral.

I suspect this may not have been what they intended to convey, but I fervently hope that they are correct. Even at the funeral for a man of his age, such a thing would be unbecoming.

Oh the life of a royal.....

Great source! ?

My thought are with the Queen. I have so much love and respect for her. To lose your soulmate is never easy even in your 90’s. I hope she stays on the throne as long as she possibly can. Long live the Queen!

I think the Queen's longevity comes from her mother's side of the family. Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, lived to 101.

 

The Queen's father, grandfather and great grandfather all died much younger.

 

The Queen's four children are all lucky to have inherited such genes but genes alone do not guarantee a long life.

 

I don’t know about the grandfather and great, but George VI was a heavy smoker who died of lung cancer. His mother, Mary of Teck, died at 87.

My sentiments exactly!

There isn't a history of extreme longevity prior to the Queen Mother, but Elizabeth's Great-Grandmother Alexandra was about 80 when she died in 1925, and Victoria was 81 when she died in 1901. Not bad for those times. Her Great-Aunt by blood, Princess Alice of Athlone lived to 97, dying in 1981 I think, and her Aunt by marriage, Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester surpassed the age of the Queen Mother and died at 102 in 2004, I think. Interestingly, the ones who live the longest have tended to marry into the family, rather than being part of the royal bloodline. The Luxembourghish royals seem to have good genes, with a number making it into their 90s in recent years.

I must confess. When I posted that link, the photo on Wikipedia was of an unsheathed penis. I doubt that photo lasted on there more than a minute, I suppose.

Prince Andrew was smokin' hot in his 20s.

I saw it and couldn't believe what I was seeing. I thought it was a hack.

Prince Andrew was smokin' hot in his 20s.

At the time there were unfounded rumors that Andrew was a "love child". Despite the appearance the royal couple lived together all the time and were inseparable, there were many times they were separated for weeks or longer.

Wow yeah Prince Andrew looked attractive back in the day.

 

From watching parts of the funeral today, I thought Peter Phillips who walked between Prince William & Harry in the procession, was quite goodlooking too.

Seeing photos of the Queen sitting alone and dressed in black was sad. Approaching her 95th birthday

[Guest]

I remember a couple of times in my early teens having dreams of marrying Prince Andrew (sleeping, not daydreams)

[gallahadesquire]

The Queen was hunched over. She normally stands straight. I’m afraid that the emotional tone will carry her off.

Would have been a cute couple, but Lord Mountbatten and Prince Philip wouldn't have approved
