Dearest Grandpa,⁣
⁣
We all miss you. ⁣
⁣
You would be so touched by all the tributes that have been shared with me the past few days. ⁣
⁣
People remember sitting next to you at a dinner, or shaking your hand once, who remember you saying hello in passing, or remember how much their DofE award meant to them. ⁣
⁣
I remember learning how to cook, how to paint, what to read. I remember laughing at your jokes and asking about your spectacular life and service in the navy. ⁣
I remember incinerating the sausages and you swooping in to save the day.⁣
I remember your hands and your laugh and your favourite beer. ⁣
⁣
I will remember you in your children, your grandchildren and great grandchildren. ⁣
⁣
Thank you for your dedication and love for us all and especially Granny, who we will look after for you. ⁣
⁣
With all my love ⁣
Eugenie

So touching.

That's lovely Jet, what a nice girl she turned into I've learnt a lot about Philip over the last couple of weeks, he seems an all around good man.

And that has absolutely jack **** to do with anything. There's a difference between guessing who will die in the coming year and literally judging someone for how they are grieving their grandfather's death one or two days after it happened.

I don't understand the complete mental gymnastics a person would need to compare the two and act like they are the same thing. Guessing who is going to die is not inherently a malicious act, a person doesn't play that game and be like 'gee whiz! I hope this person dies!' but attacking someone for grieving the loss of a loved one will always be a malicious act.

Also can we stop with the sanctimonious and incredibly disingenuous clutching of pearls over that game? Especially when people are trying to make out that it's worse than literally bashing someone for not grieving how they want them to.

Get some perspective.

That's absolutely disgusting, you'd have to be twisted to take part in a game like that about real people if that is what they were doing.

Yes, he was, and a great character. Its nice that you took the time to find out about him.

Anyone who thinks that is twisted while they are bashing someone for not grieving the way they want them to lacks self awareness to a serious degree.

Nobody did that.
Of course playing a game of guessing when real people will die is twisted.

I'm pleased Her Majesty the Queen has decreed NO ONE of the family will be in military dress for the funeral.

That's a huge move from usual Royal funerals.

I'm pleased she has looked at, had it been permitted, that Prince Harry would have likely been the odd one out.

It seems, the Queen is far more concerned with Prince Harry's feelings too, much more than some other less kindly sources.

Of course too, it is to protect Prince Andrew too no doubt.

It's a fairly strong indication that The Queen herself is currently finding herself aligning more towards the importance of family relationships than the pantomime and ceremony of tradition. As I think a lot of us suspected, but certainly much more than some would like us to believe.

She is doing absolutely the right thing, the day is about Philip not about who wears what, it shows how skilled the Queen is at nipping controversy in the bud rather than throwing fuel on the fire

Prediction: "It's a disgrace! Proud military man won't have his family there in uniform because of pandering to selfish Harry!"

Not only Harry but to Andrew too?

Andrew won't get mentioned, this will still be spun to blame Harry & Meghan as usual.

Yet gatekeeping grieving and trying to bash someone for not grieving how people want them to is perfectly fine? Get real.

Please, you can't lie to me and there's no point in lying to yourself. Other members in both this topic and the H&M topic have pointed out instances of people bashing Harry for not grieving how they want him to.
