This reminds me of another point -- wasn't Prince Philip (and only Prince Philip) the one who got the worst deal -- as far as not ever getting to be the King of England, due to the Queen's ridiculously long reign/lifespan? I don't know much about the British Royal Family, so I can't say for sure.

I almost sympathize with that poor b****** Prince Philip; it kind of does seem like the Queen will never die, doesn't it?

I think the British regularly joke about how old the Queen is, how she's been reigning for 100 years, etc.
To add to and clarify Nadir's point, reigning queens' spouses are usually referred to as "prince consort" because if they were called king then people would think they were the one in charge. Prince Philip is sort for Prince-Consort Philip. Easy mistake to make though, because their son Prince Charles is also quite old at this point, so any "old prince" might seem like the heir at a glance.

These articles do not refer to Phillip, but to his son, Charles and his grandson, Andrew.
Andrew is actually another son of Philip's.

That quote should be enough for people to question this genocide.  These people are all part of plan to murder people.
Yes! Phillip was a member of the Committee of 300.

Of course. You are right. I was thinking of William.

As has ALREADY been mentioned, the Duke of Edinburgh (Prince Phillip) was NEVER in the line of succession for the British throne.  As for the last sentence in the quoted reply, Queen Elizabeth II will turn 95 on April 21 and she was coronated June 2, 1953 (68 years ago this coming June 2).  At the moment there is nothing centennial about her at all.
