Subscriber padawanbeck84 521 Posted April 9 Subscriber Share Posted April 9 (edited) Buckingham Palace has just announced the death of the Queen's husband, Prince Philip. He was 99. He had been in hospital recently, but died peacefully at home at Windsor Castle. He was the longest-serving Royal Consort in the history of the British royal family, having been married to the Queen since 1947, when she was still Princess Elizabeth. Philip could sometimes put his foot in it with awkward comments (sometimes bordering on racism), but I think part of that was down to his age and the attitudes he would have been brought up with. It's difficult to imagine what Her Majesty must be going through The grief of losing your soulmate, but also being expected to appear calm in public and not show "too much" emotion. Most of us, when we lose someone, can mourn them in private, but there's probably going to be most of the world watching her husband's funeral... How on Earth do you cope with knowing that? My thoughts go out to her. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-11437314 Edited April 9 by padawanbeck84 Adding information. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Haven’t heard anything on the BBC about it at all. it must have been buried by investigative reporting on political scandals and contract acquisition, rioting in Northern Ireland and reporting on the influence of a few billionaire moguls on mainstream media........ don’t get me wrong I feel sorry for his wife and family and he is someone’s husband, wife father etc. but is there the need for a monarchy in a modern democracy? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's a whole other question. I'm not fanatical about the royals myself, and the idea of one family being put above the rest of us does look increasingly outdated - especially if you don't believe the religious aspect. Equally, I wouldn't like the idea of our politicians having any more power than they already do - especially some of the current lot. We've seen in America and Brazil how you can very easily end up with very unsuitable people being president. And a number of other European countries still have monarchies (Netherlands, Spain, Norway etc) and they seem to be happy with theirs. The way I see it, the Queen is a stabilising influence. She might not be able to make laws, but she can advise the PM (and admonish if necessary). And she's respected around the world in a way that Boris is not. If I had to choose between being represented globally by the Queen or Boris, I'd pick the Queen every time. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Subscriber andryu2 302 Posted April 26 Subscriber Share Posted April 26 (edited) My professor Erik David, who had been teaching the world about quantum physics and the power of high vibrations, just died from coronavirus this morning. I will never forget the one who healed me from panic disorder. I am very grateful (and know that @dmway is also too) for the teachings to elevate our vibrations. Rest in peace.

Extra blessings for his family and friends! 🙏🙏🙏 I’m glad you got to be introduced to his philosophy before he made his transition. His body may be gone, but the benefit he brought to you and many others in the world remains. Let that be some comfort for you. 🙏🙏🙏 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
