Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh retires

[WesL]

Lots of signs tonight that "Operation Forth Bridge" is currently underway in England. Operation Forth Bridge is the code word for the death of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. In case you don't follow the royals, that would be Queen Elizabeth's husband.

My friend who lives in London has indicated that something has occurred and there is a mobilization of security details. As per protocol an announcement will be made after 8am GMT via the BBC World Service.

Until then we wait and see.

I know his health hasn't been great this past year....I wonder if he's gravely ill and they are anticipating his death?

More interesting rumors include something happening with Prince Charles. Guess we will have to just wait.

Oh wow!

Sounds like some rumors that weren't true were starting to circulate.

All it apparently is- Prince Philip, at 95, has announced that he will be retiring from public life later this year. Sounds like everyone is fine other than Philip and Elizabeth getting up in years.

Well can't fault him there. If you have never watched the move The Queen or the Netflix series The Crown, I can pretty much guarantee this stemmed from an argument where The Queen ended up just saying, fine do as you wish and he called in his staff and such.

Love the series "The Crown" which made me feel I wouldn't have traded places with him or the Queen for the life they've had to live......
