Prince Philip To Stand Down From Official Duties

95 year old Prince Philip is to retire from Royal duties. Speaking as someone who was glad to retire at 65 I can't say I blame him.

He deserves his retirement he has done his share of duties over the years

They have both served this country well god bless them

He's done his share and more ,time for some one else to take over.

I think William and Kate are doing well so far, I hope they continue.

You dont seem to hear of Prince Edward doing much?

Its my own opinion that when anything happens to prince phillip , the queen would abdicate, in favour of charles and camilla.

Camilla will put him right ,unless he don't want the job ,and william and kate take over.

I have a feeling that the Queen will go on as long as possible. Bearing in mind Prince Charles will be 70 in two years time The throne could quite possibly pass to William. William is 34 now if the Queen goes on until she is 95, William will be 38 a good age to be King. I will be surprised if Charles ever gets Crowned.

Yes i cant see the Queen abdicating any time soon

The Queen will carry on until her last breath.

I would agree SB. She probably realises that Camilla de Ville and her lapdog would be a disaster for the country almost as bad as Theresa May

We must also remember that The Monarch is also head of The Church Of England. Charles is a divorcee he was married in a Register office to a Divorcee. The Church of England could be a very great lobby to stop him becoming King and head of the church. The Archbishop of Canterbury is a very powerful man.
