[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am really not getting all the love for Prince Philllip.  I admit I'm not a royal watcher, but here's what I know about him:

-- born into a sort of fake royal family (not his fault, but not impressive)
-- older sisters married Nazis and he lived with one of them as a kid (not his fault, but not impressive)
-- Kind of a jock
-- Married a long time in a situation where divorce was not a real option, and was not always faithful
-- A basically distant father who has two kids with serious emotional issues and another two that I know nothing about
-- Was particularly tough on his oldest and insisted on a boarding school situation that probably really compounded the aforementioned emotional issues
-- Liked carriage driving
-- Tall

What am I missing here?  That he went to a bunch of public events and charitable things?  Isn't that like just his job -- to put on a suit and go to functions and stand around looking stiff?

I get why the Queen would inspire some positive feelings but I'm not getting why people would feel misty-eyed about him.  Other than his family of course.   [/quote]

He looks like a rake who played his part well. He and the Queen seemed to have a close relationship, whether romantic I don't know. But, he def was a scoundrel. A low-key one. Lol[/quote]
