Both Matt Smith and Tobias Menzies were fantastic. I totally believed they were Philip.Ceebeebies was just cut off for 'major news announcement' on bbc1. Little ones fuming.
I cant believe how much the actor who played him in the crown looks like him when he was younger!
I saw it on Instagram first, but it was the official RF’s post.Both Matt Smith and Tobias Menzies were fantastic. I totally believed they were Philip.
Im really surprised that the news didn’t leak out on social media beforehand as I was sure it would. I’m assuming there was an embargo and it was respected.
A lot of people saw it there first. They announced it even before the BBC did.I saw it on Instagram first, but it was the official RF’s post.
When was it released 12 noon? It broke on tattle (for me) before the BBC announcement. My local radio station (BBC) then didn't break it for a few minutes after that, I could hear the presenters panic trying to interject with the news. They've now just gone to London for the rest of the afternoon.Both Matt Smith and Tobias Menzies were fantastic. I totally believed they were Philip.

Yes it was announced at noon. My Dad was listening to Radio 2 and it just went silent before the announcement was made. Someone on mumsnet has said that he died in his sleep, but I can’t find any official confirmation of that anywhere. But I’d imagine thats a nice way to go if true.When was it released 12 noon?

It says he died this morning they did well to keep it out of social media until then and I feel the media were surprised
Just checked, tattle had it at 12.06, and I immediately checked bbc news and it hadn't been announced. So did they announce it via social media first? I wonder if radio 2 had it before that.Yes it was announced at noon. My Dad was listening to Radio 2 and it just went silent before the announcement was made.
I thought that they lived separate lives anyway, Prince Philip with his latest mistress at Sandringham .You gotta feel for the Queen. I wonder how this will impact her.
I think they had an ‘arrangement’. Upper class people aren’t like the rest of us, they tolerate stuff like this.I thought that they lived separate lives anyway, Prince Philip with his latest mistress at Sandringham .
They were. They made him far more interesting and complex than the one dimensional racist old man everyone thought he was.Both Matt Smith and Tobias Menzies were fantastic. I totally believed they were Philip.
I think they were, but he was still around. My parents have been married 50 years and can barely tolerate each other, but I've no doubt that when one of them goes, the other will be lostI thought that they lived separate lives anyway, Prince Philip with his latest mistress at Sandringham .
I dont think The Commonweath will be much ffected by Philip passing, but I think it may all fall apart when the Queen dies. A lot of it is held together by respect for The Queen rather than a great love of the Monarchy in general.I'm a monarchist, and I am more concerned that the Commonwealth realms will fall apart. Prince Philip's passing, may he rest in peace, is another setback.
Same when my Grandad died at 99. His decline was very sudden, he’d been living independently and was looking forward to his 100th birthday until about six weeks before. Even though you know they won’t last forever the thought of them not being around is unimaginable because they have always been there.I remember when my aunt died she was 99 and we really and still do feel the loss of her.
