    Im suprised about the comments so far in this thread (get well comments) knowing he is a british royal :pac:

    But honestly I dont see what the big huff about it is. He is 91, has had a long and good life so far. I dont wish any badness on him. But is it really news worthy of the calibur its recieving?

    I mean there was a bus crash today in the uk. Bus went off a bridge and a few people died. But thats taking second fiddle to the Duke in Hospital.

    Why dont you go off and start a thread on that then?

    If you dont like the thread, dont click on it, dont read it. Dont be an arse and ask why it is newsworthy when x is happening at the same time. Your comment is as useful as the guy who shouts "LOUD NOISES" in Anchorman

    wtf? :confused:
    I just made a post in a thread. My opinion. You'd swear I just said "wish he dies!" with that response.

    Oh, but buddy ;) this aint your thread. you don't own boards. you aint even a mod! lol. So you can gladly STFU ;)

    I'm surprised that there haven't been people in here going on about oppression and stuff.

    I think he'd be a gas man to sit down and have a pint with. Hope he gets better.

    I was watching BBC news earlier (hence why I said 'But is it really news worthy of the calibur its recieving?' as BBC news were talking about the Duke for ages and only that story for for about 2 minutes.)

    They said several died. But seems BBC are reporting otherwise now. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-somerset-19267414 - Stating it was a bands tour bus. But only two were injured :confused: There was even a live reporting from the crash and the reporter said people died? :confused:

    Would this be the same man who, er, fought against the Nazis?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,033 ✭✭✭mauzo


    Yes the duke was related to Nazis, I heard he had to change his name. But the queen also disowned her cousins who had special needs..oooo ah....

    He seemed like a kind enough soul, he always made me laugh anyway lol

    They all have German ancestry so thats where the Nazi rumours more or less come from.that Edward the VIII guy who abdicated his throne ( Queen Elizabeth succeeded him) was a nazi sympathiser I like Prince Phillip though, hope hes ok!
