Prince Philip dies at age 99

[TRIEADMORE]

Rest In Peace Prince Phillip.Rest in peace.It was not unexpected for a 99 year old.I woke up watching people laying wreaths in front of Buckingham Palace. Then I read “Prince Phillip dies,age 99.”My heart sank and I instantly thought of the Queen and how she feels losing the love of her life.Although I am Canadian,my family has had some ties and connections to the monarchy in the past,so I am in mourning for the late Duke of Edinburgh personally.

A tribe in Vanuatu that worshipped the Duke of Edinburgh as a living god will likely transfer their allegiance to Prince Charles

A tribe in the South Pacific that worshipped the Duke of Edinburgh as a living god will likely transfer their allegiance to Prince Charles, a leading anthropologist has said.

The Duke has for decades been worshipped as a spirit or god by a group of villages on the island of Tanna in Vanuatu, formerly an Anglo-French colony known as the New Hebrides.

They would be deeply saddened by his passing and are set to respond to his death with ritual wailing, ceremonial dancing and the drinking of a mildly narcotic drink called kava, said Kirk Huffman, an authority on what is known as the Prince Philip Movement.

“I imagine there will be some ritual wailing, some special dances. There will be a focus on the men drinking kava – it is the key to opening the door to the intangible world. On Tanna it is not drunk as a means of getting drunk. It connects the material world with the non-material world,” said Cambridge-educated Mr Huffman, the honorary curator of Vanuatu’s national museum.

A muddy-looking liquid drunk from coconut shells or plastic bowls, kava is a mixture of water and the crushed roots of the kava plant, which grows throughout the South Pacific. Drinking it produces a feeling of mild euphoria and numbs the mouth and tongue.

Prince Charles visited Vanuatu in 2018 on a trip to the Pacific. He was given a grass skirt and a garland and was appointed an honorary chief. He drank kava and met some of the tribal leaders of Tanna. One of them took back to the island the coconut shell from which the Prince of Wales had drunk.

“He told me he would build a shrine to it, almost as if it was a holy grail,” Mr Huffman told the Telegraph. “So a connection was made between Tanna and Charles. I suspect the beliefs of the islanders will continue with Prince Charles.”

The worship of Prince Philip as a god is a result of the melding of traditional customary beliefs – known in pidgin English as kastom – with some of the tenets of Christianity, including the idea of the Second Coming of Christ, which the Tannese learned from missionaries. Their veneration of the prince fitted comfortably with an ancient prophecy that a man from Tanna would venture far away in search of a powerful woman to marry.

The Duke's cult-like status received a boost when he paid a state visit to the New Hebrides, as it was then known, in 1974.

Tribal chief Jack Naiva paddled a canoe out to greet the royal yacht. "I saw him standing on the deck in his white uniform," he was quoted as saying. "I knew then he was the true messiah."

His special status in the eyes of the people of Tanna continued after Vanuatu was granted independence by Britain and France in 1980. The movement is centred on the villages of Yakel and Yaohnanen. “They believe that Philip is the current form of a god or spirit originally linked to a sacred mountain on Tanna,” said Mr Huffman, who is originally from the West Country and first explored Vanuatu in 1973.

“He left the island ages ago to go overseas, to find a wife, and he found the Queen of England. One story was that once his rule had encircled the globe, with the Queen as his consort, he would promote kastom and peace.

“They explain his light skin with a story that says he rolled on a coral reef and it shredded off his black skin and left him white.”

Wouldn't that last one get you in trouble with your professional society?

Just sayin.

No worse than anything I did with Marion Ravenwood.

It just goes to show a pattern of abuse

Yeah, I ain't the winner in that exchange.

I wonder if we could report him for shooting a poster?

[Postauthoritarian America]

Another one bites the dust.

Rather hesitant at even posting in this thread, but I guess I can voice my opinion.


Regardless of him being a bit of a racist, his own death is likely a telling sign of what's to come. Rest in Peace, you inglorious royal, never cared anyways.

The UK is in mourning, a loss which we will never recover from. I do hope our beloved Queen is able to recover however, losing her this year would be the greatest tragedy the nation has faced in many years. RIP YOUR ROYAL HIGHNESS!

[Alcala-Cordel]

he was like really racist

He also likely saved the lives of his ~160 crewmates aboard the HMS Wallace during the Second World War by coming up with the idea of constructing a makeshift raft and attaching smoke floats to it to simulate the appearance of smoking debris, creating the decoy target for German bombers to strike rather than the Wallace which subsequently was able to escape unscathed. But no, he said some mean things about the Chinese and that's what's really important about his life.

Which is really cool, but given that he spent the rest of his life leeching off the people I'm not personally gonna grieve too much.

Are all public employees "leeches"? Do not make it out as if HRH the Duke of Cambridge sat around doing nothing for the rest of his life. He served the country in many ways, most notably via his work in environmentalism.

And he spent the rest of his life sitting on his ass, living in luxury off the people's money.

Didn't expect this shit to happen. Unexpected considering how long both the Queen and Phillip lived for

God bless him, and may he rest in peace

Yes, I get it, he was fairly unwell in recent times. But considering how long the British Royals have lived for without passing away is shocking.

Something about being reincarnated as a virus may have been (likely incorrectly) attributed to Prince Philip. Does this have anything to do with it?

Rest In Peace, and I hope more "Adrenochrome" (or whatever that substance is, probably something else) can get harvested from executing Pedos (for science on life extension).

What does this mean

TL; DR, is a conspiracy theory closely related to QAnon and the pile about a certain mind-altering drug used by the elites for recreational purpose or something. Apparently this drug is said to be extracted from living people, probably children, acquired from human trafficking etc. Though, I'm not sure about what the OP is trying to say.

Thompson cast adrenochrome as a psychedelic that must be violently extracted from human glands in his novel Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. The scene was immortalized in Terry Gilliam’s 1998 film; a YouTube clip of Johnny Depp’s character taking adrenochrome, which to date has more than 1.7 million views, has drawn thousands of comments referencing the conspiracy.

...Celebrities posting photos of themselves stuck at home and looking less than camera ready were besieged on social media with accusations that they were suffering from adrenochrome withdrawal. (In their logic, shutdowns had stalled the adrenochrome child-trafficking supply chain.) By commenting on these posts, believers spread the adrenochrome hashtag to new eyes while harassing their targets.

Thank you. That's ... utterly off-topic. Let's move on, please.

Rest in peace Prince Philip.

If it's alright to say this, I wonder what the queen is going to do? For some reason this makes me remember about the book I once read about Queen Victoria's rule after the death of her husband.

Well, her Mother chugged along quite well for another 50 years. Elizabeth won't be around that long, but in her few years left, I'm sure she'll pull through.

[Neanderthaland]

It occurs to me that in only a few months he would have received a letter from his wife congratulating him on turning 100.

I don't know why, but it strikes me as profoundly sad that this couldn't happen.
