Jacob I wonder if you have done anything good in your life. You sound like a loser who begrudges anyone who has achieved something any praise for it.
But that is only to be expected. One day in the future you will wake up and think what have I got for my life and realise that you spent that time criticising
everyone else you forgot do anything useful.

why would you assume you know anything about what good Jacob's done in his life? bizarre.
Garno's post is an expression of sadness at a man's death, i share that.

Harry and Meagain wanted out but still wanted the benefits of being in. Had they just walked away they wouldn't have attracted the opprobrium.
It may be sad for the royal family that an elder has died but many families in this country suffer the same lose and get on with it.
At the moment the royal family receive monies from the rest of us just short of £70,000,000 a year. Is this value for money considering they have other sources of wealth?

I do believe that our Jaikie Baby has a mighty shoulder chip to carry around and as has been said if nowt to say then say nowt might be a good idea?
I am a Royalist and I wish our Queen and family all the best in this sad time. It has to be an incredible shock to loose your love and friend after more than 70 years of marriage.

As is said often in one of those cremation adverts " No one lives for ever " Being given a title does not obscure you from the reaper, one day he will find you it is just something unavoidable.
If anyones husband, father, grandfather passed, would individuals be voicing opinions such? Whatever individual’s opinions are of the monarchy, they do not need airing now, when many will feel a real sense of loss.
Views on both sides ought to be respected, however, time and a place, now is neither.

Hmm, well I have been learning how to play the banjo. Would that do?

You won't get a chance to live like him, not unless you marry into the family

At 99 I wouldn't think it was a shock but I'm sure some of the family are sad at his going.
Tenor or 5 string?Hmm, well I have been learning how to play the banjo. Would that do?

5. Mixture of clawhammer and finger styles. Keep meaning to do jazz chords and C tuning but haven't got around to it yet. Going off topic!
Not going off topic. Maybe if we play at the funeral with my ability it will be sad news - Keep at it!5. Mixture of clawhammer and finger styles. Keep meaning to do jazz chords and C tuning but haven't got around to it yet. Going off topic!
Having been a newspaper reporter covering Aberdeenshire for local daily, covered royal events across area including Royal Deeside. The duke had great way of putting people at ease with a joke and actually interested in folk he spoke to.
Pretty informal for a royal, and could talk to anyone. Remember speaking to woman whose car had a flat tyre a few miles from Balmoral and was amazed when car stopped - out stepped the duke and helped his driver change her wheel.

Whether a Royalist or not, and I'm not, a person has died. OK the media are wailing like banshees and the reactions are OTT but if people feel it's fine to make jokes or criticise at this time then you have to feel sorry for them and believe that they must lead a pretty pathetic existence without an ounce of compassion.
Disrespectful IMO.

I thought Jacob's comment was uncalled for, but after listening to 2 hours or so of eulogy on R4 during shedtime this afternoon, I am inclined to believe it's the sort of quip the DOE would likely have made himself.

I'm sure we all have views on the monarchy, but this isn't about us. Nor is it about the crocodile tears of the media.
It's about a man who did his duty all his life. How many of us can say that?

He certainly would not have approved of all the “fuss”. IMHO a man who fully repaid any privilege by his service to others.
