whathehell
(29,067 posts)It still seems like strange behavior from a middle aged man to me, but, whatever.
UTUSN
(70,683 posts)Having 75 stuffed things on his bed wherever he goes and throwing raging tantrums at "servants" is definitely strange behavior for a middle aged whomever.
That said, true what another poster said that collectors are out there anywhere. Plus, visits to military base exchanges will show stuffed animals dressed in military caps or uniforms. And the perverted "royal" system imposes stunted human relationships, which even animals are better at.
I totally agree with you ABOUT HIM.
whathehell
(29,067 posts)I also understand about collectors. It's just that teddy bears (72 of them, no less) are usually associated with children rather than middle aged men.
There's been a couple of comments here to the effect pf Prince Philip being a cold father..I don't know your nationally, but is that your understanding?
UTUSN

(29,067 posts)Have a good one.

(51,308 posts)It might be illuminating for you.
Start with his childhood.
Blaming a dead man for his sons transgressions? Princess Anne is just fine and was the closest to him.
whathehell
(29,067 posts)as I'm not "blaming*"anyone for anything.
BlackSkimmer
(51,308 posts)Unless youre really close to that family, which Im quite sure youre not, youre making accusations with no basis.
whathehell
(29,067 posts)and if you'd read the post correctly, you'd see I simply asked for an opinion, based on the statements of others here on the thread. Have a nice one.
BlackSkimmer
(51,308 posts)Oh my.
whathehell
(29,067 posts)but your response is..
BlackSkimmer
(51,308 posts)whathehell
(29,067 posts)There help for that, dear..Best of luck.

(9,067 posts)There are people all over the world that collect objects. Some are dolls, some are stuffed toys, some are miniatures, stamps, christmas decorations, albums, vintage clothes, guns, nazi memorabilia, action figures, comic books, art, etc.
So what if he has an affinity for them? Personally I'm not a collector but I'm not going to pass judgement on someone for collecting harmless toys.
As for his scandals that's a different story. He's a fucking creep for that.

(3,994 posts)except insofar that they impact others.
But, given the chance, I'd use his teddy bears as target practice with my Klingon Disruptor.

(26,068 posts)He gets a small yearly pension from the Royal Navy, which the fuckhead earned and which he has a right to, but zero money from anyone else except for a yearly allowance from his mother's private estate. It will be up to her whether or not she continues to give him any money. I am 100% sure his brother will not be giving him one pound after he becomes King.
So, zero taxpayer money.

(26,068 posts)Reread my post. He pays for it with the money from his mother's private money and his small Naval pension. He does not live in a palace, he lives in a home that was a marital present from his parents when he married Sarah Ferguson.

whathehell
(29,067 posts)but if you don't, there's s always other threads to read.
BlackSkimmer
(51,308 posts)Really?
whathehell
(29,067 posts)when they're not in order? Definitely.
BlackSkimmer
(51,308 posts)Youll find plenty to slake that appetite lol.

BlackSkimmer
(51,308 posts)You actually said you were commenting on other posters saying Phillip was cold, but yours is the only comment saying so.
You tried to rope another poster into your narrative, but he quite rightly, shrugged you off.
Do you know Prince Andrew? Do you know anyone involved? Have you decided guilty until proven innocent? What is your issue?
I think Andrew is a giant prat, a stupid pillock
but I couldnt give a crap about what he collects.
My aunt collects teapots. Who gives a bloody toss? God, perhaps you might take up collecting something. Hobbies are fun.
whathehell
(29,067 posts)I left this thread HOURS ago, dear, and so did everyone else. Lol..You, it seems, are the one needing a hobby!
P.S. Don't like someone's posts?..Ignore is your friend..Buh bye.
