So many idiots on Twitter. Ignore Ignore Ignore.

He lived in Nazi Germany with his sister who was a Nazi and named her child Adolf

He was sent to live with his sister in Germany when he was a child. He had no choice in the matter - his mom was in an asylum and his dad abandoned him to live as a playboy in the South of France.

He went to a boarding school in Germany run by a Jewish headmaster. When the headmaster was forced to flee by the Nazis to Scotland, Philip followed the headmaster to the Scottish school.

Philip then fought in the war against the Nazis/Axis powers on the European seas.

Anyone calling him a Nazi because of his older sisters' decisions are idiots. The guy literally battled the Nazis in WW2. Lots of aristocratic families sullied their names by supporting - explicitly or tacitly - the Nazis. There's no indication Philip was a stooge for the Nazis.

I agree.

I agree.

Not to mention the fact that his sisters were 7 and 16 years older than him.

I think its likely that Beatrice and Eugenie come just to take heat off Andrew who will definitely come. Fergie isn't coming.

The Tindalls should come but Zara just gave birth to an early baby like...two weeks ago so IDK.

Definitely Louise and James. No on Archie, Louis, Charlotte, and George.

Zara was up and taking walks a few hours after giving birth to the newest baby so that wouldn’t stop her from attending.

The funeral in Windsor is a 2-hour drive from her mother's home in Gatcombe. You think she'll drive with a nursing 2-week-old that far? I'm asking. Maybe they'll all fly. But technically she should be on bedrest, no?

Bedrest a month after a normal vaginal birth? What century are you posting from?

What science did you study that 2 weeks equals a month?

What math did you study that March 21 - April 17th equals two weeks?

How about....ANY bedrest after a normal vaginal birth? It's 2021, dear.

Philip’s mother is righteous among nations and buried in Israel. Philip was the first royal to visit Israel and Yad Vashem. Anyone calling him a Nazi has no knowledge of history.

Charles speaks - he always sounds like he's straining for words

Why isn't he wearing black? I thought that was a royal rule?

Anne and Edward and Sophie wore black yet Charles chose to be different.

Philip doesn't have any surviving members from his Greece family?

+1 I think the younger posters here have no clue.

Really? I find him to be one of the most eloquent members of the family. For a son who is grieving, I found this very well-done and moving.

Bed rest? Good grief no.

Twitter is horrible. I hate all the rude comments about Phillip. Have some empathy and class.

I went to a friend’s wedding on the Eastern Shore when my oldest was 2-3 weeks. I would unquestionably have gone to my grandfather’s funeral.

I attended an all day work conference when my DD was 3 weeks old. It’s an individual choice.

The firm 10 (plus Archbishop):
The Queen
Prince Charles
Duchess Camilla
Prince Andrew
Princess Anne
Capt. Lawrence
Prince Edward
Countess Sophie
Prince William
Duchess Kate
Archbishop of Canterbury (religious leader)

4 other possibles - Eugenie and Zara both are post-partum in a pandemic. Meghan is heavily pregnant in a pandemic. I don’t think their spouses will show without them.

Holy heck is this what you do for fun?

If it’s a private funeral we won’t know who attends.

If the Queen wants a big funeral then they will delay it.

A) It's being live televised

B) They can't delay it - Covid restrictions are strict in the UK through May 17th. What do you think the Queen's going to do - freeze him?

What day is the funeral? I want to watch.

Peace to Queen Elizabeth and the family.

Next Saturday at 3pm. 30 people will be in attendance. It is going to be televised.

Thank you!

Not true - at all.

His uncle was King of Greece and desposed. The entire Greek royal family lives in the U.S. and would have been included in a normal ceremony. Nothing would have stopped Marie-Chantal from showing up in royal finery.

In addition Phillip had 18 nieces and nephews born of his three sisters. 5 of the nephews and 1 niece is still alive. On top of all the grand-nephews and nieces who are in their 40s, 50s, and 60s.

Anne was better - also grieving and wearing proper mourning black.
