Re: Duke of Edinburgh

He is still quite spritely for his age, no walking stick, no spectacles (maybe contact lens?), no hearing aid ....I would love to see the Queen present him with his special card to commemerate his 100th birthday.

Re: Duke of Edinburgh

I think he still drives carriages, I'm hoping he will enjoy his retirement he's brought much entertainment to us over the years with his slightly questionable sense of humour.

Re: Duke of Edinburgh

Didn't he belong to a men's club that had posh dinners where they would eat endangered animals or such.
Maybe I'm wrong?

Re: Duke of Edinburgh

Not sure, it wouldn't surprise me if he belonged to a men's club but what he does there I have no idea.
