99 And Out

On the news that Prince Philip had died, the first thoughts of many of his British subjects was, do we get a day off then?
Apparently we don't, that's only for when the Queen's clogs are popped but tributes have been made for the the man whose claim to fame was being married to the Queen and who died aged 99 and just months before he was due to get the 100th birthday letter from his wife.
As the Royal marriage pool is very shallow, the Queen and Philip actually met at a family get together, they were third cousins, but once all the gushing about what a great person he was who served his country so admirably has died down, the darker side of him will be what he is most remembered for, the asking an Aborigine if they still threw spears at each other, telling British students in China that if they stayed there much longer they will get slitty eyes and saying that his Palaces wiring was so bad it was probably put in by an Indian, those sort of things.   
The Royals do tend to live long and healthy lives, much to Prince Charles disappointment, but i know the Royal secret to living to a fair old age, actually do very little.
That's the Royals secret. They do nothing whatsoever. Wave at the plebs lining the streets every now and then and remember to feed the corgi's while having your every whim seen to by an army of lackeys, but that's it.
The big question is whether Meghan will turn up with Harry for the funeral after what she said about the Royals because that could make for a very awkward few moments at the funeral but we won't know because we will all be working that day.
