ReplyDeleteA great man and almost as British as they come, Sarah, He's Greek.
ReplyDeleteWell yes of Greek origin. Though very much a British Subject; thus a very British Prince.
ReplyDeletehappy birthday to a Royal Prince who is a fine member of the royal family as long as he doesnt open his mouth and make any comments about anyone or anything
ReplyDeleteOn the many occasions Prince Philip has made comments they have been well informed (he is particularly well briefed) and often humorous.
ReplyDeleteHis influnce on the Monarchy during times of Royal crises has provided much needed worldly wisdom.
It is indeed a great pity that HRH has not made more comment on the erosion (over the past 30 years)of HM Government's abilty to actually govern the realm.
Your comments are welcome 'Lady from Middlesex' all be it (if we had our way) from inside HM Tower !
