| I wish I could go. He meant so much to me. I’ve been in tears all morning since I found out. |
This isn't a formal public engagement. It's a private family funeral. And he's "more important" than the rando grandkids. |
Tell us more about his impact on your life (sincerely - here to listen). |
Its already announced that it will be live broadcast around the world. Just like Diana's funeral and the recent weddings. Its a formal public engagement. |
Tears? For someone you didn’t know? Why? Are you sad for his wife? I don’t understand such strong emotions for a stranger who seemingly had no impact on your life (unlike RBG whose legacy impacts all Americans). |
Also he has done a few "formal" engagements (even if these are relatively informal, they still count).

The Queen Mum lived to almost 102... so I wouldn't count her out yet. |
Not everyone lives in America you know. That PP wasn't me but I actually live in Edinburgh. He fought for our country, he started the Duke of Edinburgh awards that all of our children participate in, he's been a public servant for his whole life. |
I hope the Queen is OK. He was the only man she ever loved and she was smitten at age 13 when she met the dashing young Naval officer
Of his grandchildren, Philip was closest to Harry - especially since Harry had a real military career like he did. I'd be shocked if Harry didn't go home for the funeral. |
He was hot! |
William's first official public engagement was at the age of 8 with his mother and father and a happy crowd. It would look bad for George's to be a funeral.
In addition to Covid protocols and UK children not being vaccinated at all.

How would it "look bad" to show respect for Prince Philip? |

It really isn’t a big deal. No one is going to mourn his death every year. More like, oh, PP died on this day. |
For real. And it’s not like people publicly celebrate Charles and Camillas wedding anniversary. |
