Prince Philip has died




The Royal Family
@RoyalFamily

It is with deep sorrow that Her Majesty The Queen has announced the death of her beloved husband, His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.

His Royal Highness passed away peacefully this morning at Windsor Castle.





I've just enough class not to speak ill of the very recently dead. All I'll say is that no doubt the bereavement and accompanying ceremonies and retrospectives will serve as a handy distraction from everything else that's going on.
