Prince Philip Has Died At 99
Well, it’s the end of an era and (prepare for me to sound like I’m a British royal historian) a chapter of the British monarchy has closed. Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, who I thought would be busting moves and laying it down at his big 100th birthday party in June, died this morning at Windsor Castle at 99.
The Queen Made Her First Public Appearance In Nearly Five Months
It has been a wild few months for the Royals. There was the Oprah interview with Prince Harry and Megan Markle, 99-year-old Prince Philip’s hospitalization, and the pervy Prince Andrew perv scandal hasn’t exactly gone away. And we haven’t seen The Queen out and about since last year. But today she dressed up in Easter green, applied her stiff upper lip, and made her first public appearance of 2021. She visited the CQGC Airforce Memorial in Surrey to mark the Centenary of the Royal Australian Air Force. And, no, this vaccinated 94-year-old didn’t wear a matching green mask, but apparently, it was a socially distanced outdoor event.
Prince Philip Has Been Released From The Hospital
He’s done it! Prince Philip has cheated death once again. NBC News reports that Prince Philip has been discharged from the hospital where he was being treated for still being alive at 99 years old, and is back at Buckingham Palace. Don’t worry, Phil and Death go way back, so Death’s not tripping. One time, back during the Norman Conquest, Philip cheated Death out of an entire sack of silver Edward the Confessor ha-pennies during a game of Maw using a loaded deck. The hand-painted human rawhide cards Philip slipped in there were so obviously fake, Death had to laugh! They actually have a lovely friendship #relationshipgoals #deathismycopilot.
The Royal Family Is Not Racist, So Says Prince William
Well, everyone, case closed! Racism does not exist in the Royal Family! Prince William has said so! I guess this also means that the sky is not blue, water is not wet, bears do not shit in the woods, and P. Willy’s got a head full of luscious locks and he’s been wearing a bald cap this entire time!
William and Duchess Kate did one of their hand-shaking elbow-bumping events today, and a reporter asked him a couple of questions including if the Royal Family is racist. William should’ve just pretended that the question got lost in the wind and never made it into his earholes, but instead, he answered it, saying that they’re not racist. As the laugh track was cued up, Princess Michael of Kunt’s racist brooch probably threw the most scathing side-eye, and Prince Philip’s ears burned something extra after hearing the words “racist” and “royal” while in his hospital bed.
Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Really Did Tell All During Their CBS Interview With Oprah
Last month, when writing about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s interview with Oprah Winfrey for CBS, I joked that the Royal Family didn’t have to stress, because the biggest, most exclusive revelation to come out of that no-holds-barred interview would probably be about latte preference. Much to the chagrin of the Royal Family and their die-hard fans, Oprah’s interview aired last night. And the reality of the situation is that today I’m on hold with my doctor discussing pain management for muscle strain. Because much like Oprah, my jaw was dropped for the entire 2-hour interview. Just call them the Duke and Duchess of Sussexposing The Firm.
Prince Philip Has Undergone A Successful Heart Surgery, And CBS Has No Plans To Postpone Prince Harry And Meghan Markle’s Interview
It’s been a little over two weeks since 99-year-old Prince Philip was shuffled off to the hospital, and at first, the Palace downplayed his hospital visit, saying it was just a “precautionary measure” since he wasn’t feeling very good. Then the Palace announced that Philip would be in the hospital a few more days and that turned into him being transferred to another hospital to be treated for a heart issue.
Well, today Buckingham Palace said in a statement that Philip went through a procedure on his heart, which was successful. He’ll be laid up in the hospital for a bit longer as he recovers. Because Prince Philip is down and out, some “royal experts” believe that CBS should press the pause button on Prince Hot Ginge and Meghan Markle’s big tell-all interview with Oprah. But CBS reportedly has no plans to postpone the interview and will air it on Sunday night as scheduled (it will air in the UK on Monday night on ITV). CBS also released another preview clip where Meghan calls out “The Firm” for “perpetuating” lies about her and Prince Harry. DAMN! Make that popcorn extra large, please, and keep ’em coming!
