I just heard a heartwarming story about Prince Philip. After President Kennedy was assassinated and Jackie Kennedy was making funeral arrangements, she lost track of the then three year old John Kennedy. She found him playing on the floor with Prince Philip who had come to attend the funeral. His long life had to be filled with fascinating stories that I hope to hear.
I'd never heard that story before. Thank you sharing! ❤❤
DR Grande: “ He wrote his own speeches”. Not everyone was happy with that 🤣🤣
It is funny but true!
😆😆😆
😆
lol
That just slayed me. 😂😂😂
A friend met him in 2005, representing a small startup company in a sea of big time companies. Both him and his partner received very thoughtful, handwritten letters from him a year later. He was a good one.
My father in law worked alongside Prince Phillip in the paint stores on HMS CENTAUR stationed in Gibraltar this was before PP married the QUEEN ...he liked a good disagreement but showed respect if you actually knew what you were talking about .. LOL !
@@franmellor9843 that's awesome. I love Gibraltar. Super cool.
I think he was an awesome dude! He like the queen was in my life all my life. I am the same age as king Charles 111. I have always loved the royal family.
When you're married for 70+ years, you're not just losing your spouse; you're losing your best friend and confidant.
more like losing part of yourself
and distant cousin
@Lee ma'am* and is this a joke...? I find it hard to believe you couldn't get 2 minutes into the video... if not tell me what 1:53 and 2:02 is 🥴
True but I find it impossible to feel empathy for that old bat. Resource hoarder. She does nothing but make appearances. I Hate royalty and their mooching off from their people while that snake owns one sixth of the land in the world
@Lee Where do you think Alabama, Misdissippu, Carolina, etc. got it from?! They were both great grandchildren of Queen Victoria.
I think regardless of people's views on the Royal Family it must be devastating for the Queen to lose someone so close to her and been with for over 70 years. May he rest in peace.
♥️
Yes. She fell in love with him when she was 13 !! The loss must be devastating for her.
It’s been devastating for the whole family, he kept the branch families together for a long time
Well said Dr.
By all means let's continue the charade of a feudalistic undemocratic relic of a bygone past that has no relevance in the 21st century.
I found your analysis of this man to be professional, fair and surprisingly warm. It's refreshing that you looked for and found the good in Prince Phillip. Well done and thankyou.
You must be getting 100 percent return -two hearts, two comments. A Royal Accomplishment..
You know, for someone who did over 22 thousand solo engagements, (and who knows how many engagements he had with the queen) he didn't have that many mess ups! I think he deserves more credit. He was real and honest and to be honest, I miss living in a world where people can say what they want without everyone whining and canceling you.
I mean... they cancelled all programming yesterday on the BBC just to talk about him, I dunno how that’s being cancelled? People have said things way less offensive and had their careers ruined. I do agree cancel culture is a bad thing, but he’s definitely never been cancelled. His son was hanging about with Epstein and he’s not even been arrested re:allegations, yet here’s his dad getting salutes all over the world. If Philip was going to be cancelled, surely that controversy surrounding his immediate family world have been the perfect excuse?
@@stlvn6363 I just meant in general
@@shortsauce then I completely agree.
Well said Christie🙏🏼
Prince Philip was someone you have to appreciate for his willingness to say what he was thinking. I would MUCH rather know who I am dealing with than someone that is covert. He reminds me of my father-in-law. He can sometimes be cringy but you never, ever have to doubt or wonder where you stand with him. Take it or leave it. When he tells me I am getting a bit chunky, I know it is truth and don’t let it hurt my feelings. But when he tells you he loves you, it is like a badge of honor and there is no second guessing that either. My heart goes out to the queen.
Couldn’t agree more! There are way too many people who are all nice and kind and then say bad things behind your back.
My favorite picture of him was when he pranked the Queen by dressing up as one of the royal guards and she was very obviously laughing and enjoyed it. They seemed to love each other very much.
That wasn't a prank. They were laughing about a swarm of bees during that event.
I think even Philip would be pleased by the way you have captured him, even though he didn't want to be fussed over. And I do believe Elizabeth was right, he was the only man she could have loved. And she did. A fair and succinct appraisal of a most interesting man, Dr Grande.
Wow to have a 70 year relationship. The sense of loss and grief must be unimaginable.
Right?!!
Yep - praying the Queen can weather this loss and thrive. I imagine it would be a particularly bad time for the UK to lose her. 😔🙏☦🕯
Too bad he will not receive the 100th birthday message from the Queen. Come to think of it, who will send her majesty her 100th birthday message if she turns 100 in 5 years?
@@tuck-brainwks-eutent-hidva1098 Well the queen is nearly 95. She will not have too many more years.
Queen or Betty White? Who outlast the other.
I imagine that being the consort to the Queen was difficult for someone with his intelligence. The Queen often acknowledged that he fully supported her through good and bad times. His humor was evident when he acknowledged that he was the most proficient royal at attending ceremonies and unveiling plaques.
He put that intelligence to great use. He really got involved in the many charities he was patron of. He launched the Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme that helped millions of youngsters explore their potential in many countries. He developed a great interest in environmental concerns from the early 1950s and the rest of his life. An extraordinary man!
People tend to forget that he is seen/worshipped as a God/higher being/deity on Vanuatu in the pacific. Not his wife. True story!
Jeez I imagined seeing this embarrassing level of uncritical thinking and bootlicking in those stupid royal channels But here!? That creepy old man was never an intelligence icon he was a renowed racist with a mouth full of vulgarities and bigotry.
most royals are,likely,racist bigots&definitely all royals are completely useless. Yet, somehow, people still support them🙄
@@notdeadjustyet8136 You bought that Oprah bs?
I really appreciate your respectful, tender and fair analysis. I think the he lived an extraordinary life and also humanized the royal family. My condolences to Her Majesty and all the Royal Family.
Thank you Dr. Grande!❤️
Interesting analysis Dr. Grande 👍 My wife met Prince Philip at St James Palace in London in 1994 having completed her Duke of Edinburgh Gold award. She said he was personable, down to earth, and he made people feel at ease.
Your discipline to stay within the boundaries of psychology is impressive
Very true!
lol he is a pro....but you dont have to stay within the boundaries....any comments??
@Dejuh Vuhhis opinions aren’t, random shot in the dark. They grounded in with the training and experience he’s had within psychology
Theres a few times when he strays from that but for the most part I agree
@@capgains the jokes he'll make are technically his opinion or how he thinks of a certain situation. His opinions can be based on his psychology experience, but he does stray away from objectiveness a couple times in past videos.
When I was seven, in 1956, Philip visited my home city. The school arranged for some of us to go into the centre to be at the front near the Town Hall. His procession arrived, he was in a big black car. It stopped a little distance off the grand entrance to allow him to walk past us flag wavers.
Being the cheeky kid, I shouted out, "Prince Philip! How do you like Manchester?" He came over, smiled, and replied, "I've not seen much of it yet." I suppose that bit from the car to me was twenty paces at most, so not much indeed.
so cheeky
What a lovely memory! I have never met Prince Philip but I was a child on holiday on the island of Anglesey at the time of Prince Charles’ investiture as Prince of Wales. I got a wave from Princess Anne and Prince Charles as they passed by in a car on a narrow country lane. I was thrilled!
When I was a kid I was so impressed that royalty was real. It made me wonder if Sleeping Beauty and Rapunzel were real. I looked for explanations like a Sleeping Beauty having diabetes, or Rapunzel making a rope of curtains. Even dwarves exist. But it was the existence of royalty that I had the hardest time with.
Thank you for sharing your story. This is such a special moment in your personal history. ❤️
As they are family, I thank you for the story. I’m glad you have such a lovely memory. The queen and duke loved Manchester and it’s people very much.
I really liked prince Philip. He had a dry sense of humor which I could relate to.
Royalty is so distant from our ordinary lives it’s easy to forget that they have the same problems and happiness as the rest of us. Philip was certainly his own man. Not an easy thing as a male consort to a monarch
Recommended: 🎵"What Do the Simple Folk Do?"🎶 from Camelot....😉
Do you think it's easy for women to play supporting roles to men?
especially we forget that phillip was raised in a much more sexist and traditional culture
I just feel bad for the queen. That’s her life companion. A marriage lasting over 70 years...that’s amazing.
I agree. Not only has she loved him since she was very young, but she has now lost every peer and confidant that was close to her. Children and grandchildren are close but different. Title aside, as a human I feel very sad for the loss of her closest companion and the friend who knew her from the age of 13. They grew up together, endured war together, lived through highs and lows together. The person that knew her inside and out (and as a person and not a queen) is now gone. I feel for her deeply.
He wasn’t her equal. He was on her payroll!
@@An__- yes, probably the only person in the world ,she could be her true self with , feel awful for her.
I mean theres rumours he cheated
Thanks for your respectful and thoughtful analysis Doc. Prince Phillip was quite accomplished in his own right and no wonder that Elizabeth was so attracted to him. His balancing presence will be missed Appreciate you 😘
Perfect time for me to request Princess Alice - Prince Philip’s mother - again!! She had an extraordinary life and I would love to hear your analysis!!
One of the only members of a any royal family who is respectable. Philip was embarrassed by her, but was only too happy to take all the credit when she was honored by Israel with a burial spot in the Holy Land. He was mad that she gave away her money to the poor and also embarrassed that she helped Jewish people during WWII.
@@cl5470 Bottom line is maybe he was angry at the crap childhood he had because of her, his father and blood family that essentially abandoned him throughout his childhood.
Oh yes.
@@jhanes3791 I can understand him being angry and not understanding, but that's the way things were done then. It was felt that exposure to a mentally ill parent was damaging and shameful, and in fact Princess Alice was very ill.
She got better, though. That's a story I'd like to hear.
@@cl5470 I guess that being young on those times gave him a reason to feel the need of his heritage, specially for his status and with whom he was with on times of wars, but life payed him well I guess. I'm intrigued to know a video of her as well, is very interesting as it also runs in my family, less and less (hope).
He adjusted to his life after the marriage, he worked to do productive things. All people can come off as offensive but after all, we are people. Thanks for an unbiased and fair opinion Dr. Grande. One further thought, he adjusted to a situation that very few people in the entire world would ever need too, good on him. RIP
He was born in Crete but made in England! The poor man inherited a strange and ironic sense of humour that some of us Brits have. It is not delivered to hurt or offend. Unfortunately it is not universally shared or particularly understood by many others and when you have to communicate with so many people you don’t know on an regular basis, problems do occur.
@@laravonstaden1838 most of us appreciate the humor lol...but never the genocidal occupations and thievery policies.
What Dr Grande said about the indigenous people of Australia, and Prince Philip remark is actually true. In extremely isolated parts of Australia, ,if an indigenous person harms another one, they will settle it by the victims family throwing a spear at the offenders leg . This then settles the dispute. It's rare but it still happen in isolated community , their usually full blood indigenous people.
@@cottontails9003 he was just a cranky man ...who would enjoy playing second banana all time during all your married life.
@@laravonstaden1838 true - ive been around brits all of my life and i get the humor - and i love it 😁 i actually laughed out loud at his statements in this video 🙈🤷🏽♀️
I think Dukie's apparent lack of awareness concerning political correctness was what made him so popular to be honest. Anyway, I watched this with a degree of trepidation, being so soon after his passing, but I needn't have worried. Thank you Dr Grande for making a sensitive and thoughtful film about a man who many, including me, admired and respected and who will be greatly missed. I think you absolutely nailed his personality.
Thank you. Very observant and realistic. I never heard a bad word, in my opinion, about Prince Philip. Most people understood and loved him as he was. Funny, sarcastic, sometimes rude, but great. A normal human being.
I love your comment, exactly my feeling about him!
This is how I feel about a few of our American politicians. I won't say which ones, but I tend to like the more sharp-witted, funny, occasionally foul-mouthed "average Joe" (no pun intended)... yes, just being human and trying to be engaged with the world! :)
Never heard a bad word? In the uk he’s a joke, boorish, arrogant, racist and prone to make stupid and offensive remarks. By no means normal.
Since his passing a lot of people tell me that he was all sorts of awful things - I never viewed him that way and knew he always said totally inappropriate things. I won't take any other people's views on board ( not you Todd btw) but think it is important to look at the whole life and trying to understand the man. And his love of the Queen. Because they really did seem to love each other. I will just research and come to my own opinion and encourage everyone to do that always. Never just assume someone is good or bad. Or that people also change their views or soften them. A man died. The Queen and his family loved him. That is all I need to know really
@@thefirm4606 I’m from the UK and disagree with you.
As a British born person I think this is an accurate and heartwarming overview of Prince Phillips life. Thank you Dr G. 🙏
One thing people also need to take into consideration when they talk about some of his humour being offensive is that he was a military man from the age of 18 and right up to his retirement at the age of 96 he spent a lot of time around military personnel and as anyone who has served knows, the military and those who have served in it have a very different culture and sense of humour to the civilian population which most civilians find very shocking and highly offensive. So it is most likely that those 'gafs' were more a case of his military side slipping out than any prejudice or intention to cause offence.
In fact when questioned about it he did say that sometimes he would say things to people then realise that what he said might have caused offence and felt bad about it so he would go and try to make it right with the person he said it to.
I'm 59 and Australian and am surprised at how much this has affected me. I guess it's because in a small way, Prince Phillip and Queen Elizabeth have always been part of my life. Something always taken for granted but now sadly missed. Vale, Prince Phillip. You won't be forgotten.❤
He said of Princess Anne, "If it doesn't fart or eat hay, she isn't interested."
🤣🤣🤣
LMAO!!!!!!
So awesome!! 😂
😂
That's very affectionate in English culture
I have an observation in regards to Prince Philip’s impolite statements. Although I understand that many people feel insulted by them, I think it’s important to take into consideration that he was 99. So many things have evolved in a century! Comments that people used to make only 20 years ago are considered offensive today, and in the same way some of the words/expressions we have today may not be appropriate in a few decades. So, my point here is if we look at history and the numerous events that took place in the past century, it’s important to understand that interpersonal communication also developed and will continue to do so.
My comment here is not a judgment of what is right or wrong, I just think we need to take his age into consideration and look at the bigger picture.
Beautifully said 🖤
My issue with this, & old people in general, is that just bc you were born in different times, doesn’t mean you didn’t also age & grow with the times. So there’s really no excuse for things like misogyny & racism, that white men used to get away with back in the day.
I hope this political correctness crap has died off in 20 years. People have gotten so soft it's disgusting
Some of his comments are taken out of context, he had a very dry sense of humour and some of what's taken as offence at the time was laughed at.
You r kind n thoughtful.🙌🏻✝️😊 Mind do deteriorated as we grow old. Even e young make mistakes in speech!
Nevertheless, pple of today tends to be more impatient n intoralent. Tats is y many marriages fail.
I never knew all this about Philip. He always came across to me as his own man who didn’t want to be babied.
He was his own man, you are right! He didn’t like a fuss being made about him at all, he wanted a simple funeral at the end and will get his wish. The Covid restrictions mean that it will be very simple indeed.
Philip had a very unsettled childhood. His father ran away with his mistress and his mother was institutionalized due to schizophrenia. He bitterly resented all the sympathy that was doled out to him by the various relatives who took him in, then sent him elsewhere. He thrived in boarding school because no one pitied him or brought up his parents. His tough, sometimes blunt, prickly character was forged very early in childhood.
@@leonieromanes7265 Princess Anne is very much like Prince Philip, so at least he lives on through her. ❤❤
Stoic and loyal. A huge loss to the UK if not the world. He did not suffer fools. He was a true man.
Did you also know that he is worshipped as a God/higher being on Vanuatu in the pacific? True story!
".. weighing his faults against his positive attributes.." I love how fairly you measured things here!
I can't imagine living most of one's life in a fish bowl where every slip-up is on record.
Dear Dr G, thank you for wearing my favourite pink shirt for this video. Although I live in Australia, I am English, and I am quite shocked at how much this news has deeply shocked and saddened me. Along with most people in the United Kingdom, and the rest of the Commonwealth family of countries, lI feel very upset and somewhat unnerved at the death of HRH The Prince Phillip, The Duke of Edinburgh, as the British Royal Family has just ‘been’ there for the entirety of my life. It feels that the end of a very long era is now coming to an end, and I do wonder what this particular aspect of life will bring with it. RIP
That’s how most of us here in England feel. At this sad, sad time the lovely tributes and personal memories pouring in have been really uplifting. They are so heartfelt and I am sure it will bring some comfort to the Queen.
Diorella, Exactly how I feel. I'm Australian too. I never realised how much this would affect me.
I’m so glad you’ve said this, I’m amazed at how sad i am. I’m 59 & whatever else has happened they’ve always been there reliable and stoic. It really is the beginning of the end of an era. It’s comforting to know so many of us feel the same .
@@Peaceshiet812 me too. I feel a bit silly being so upset. Glad I'm not the only one. Stay well.❤
@@karistone1297 same! I’m sort of hiding it from my family 😂
A man who loved to help his wife and a wife who loved taking care of him..... 💝❤💞💞
lol
Didn't he cheat on her with actresses?
They have both had servents all their lives.
A deep love.
@@powderandpaint14 and different payrolls lol 😂 different net worths!
This was one of your best analyses, well balance and fair. They don't make them like him anymore. His death is a great loss to the kingdom and, of course, the Queen.
Tribbles, too much political correctness nowdays.
@@karistone1297 There was a funny incident with Philip at the Queen's last Jubilee celebration. He and many WWII veterans were gathered for a picture taking. The men were old and were tiring as the photographer fussed and fussed. Finally, Philip had enough and roared, "TAKE THE FUCKIN' PICTURE." Philip did not suffer fools and sometimes his political correct filter slipped.
@@tribbles2955 I love it! Will really miss him.❤
She lost her husband and her cousin
Your sense of discipline is admired by this former college newspaper Editor in Chief.
Im confident you completed this long ago. This is classic, smart, thoughtful news business behavior. Thank you for giving a damn about doing good work Dr.
From one editor to another, why would one choose to end a sentence by using an abbreviation?
Can we talk about writers who start a sentence with “ And...” ?
@@meeeka because I'm retired!!
@@meeeka if I change it now, I lose Dr. Grande's "like".
Can't have that!
RIP, Prince Phillip; you were one-of-a-kind. My condolences to the Queen and the Royal Family.
Very respectful thank you, sending all my well wishes to the UK. My daughter lives there she said everybody over there is in mourning. What a great love story I'm so sad for the queen
yea, your sister lied ...
I can assure you that this is nonsense. It may be that a small minority of people in England are "in mourning", but I find it difficult to believe. I can absolutely state that very few people in Scotland are, the great majority don't care about the monarchy at all. In general, Americans care a lot more about the "Royal" family than we do.
@@clearwoodcouk I can agree with you as far as Scotland goes my daughter lives in England therefore it's a little different but yes there are a lot of people that are not going to be in the morning thanks for your comment I totally forgot about that. I hope you have a wonderful day
Also want to include that I agree with you as far as the media
That’s complete bs. I’m from England (London) FYI. Most people don’t care about the royal family like that. I didn’t feel anything when I heard about the news tbh. Sorry for his family I guess, but there is no tragedy in his death. He was 99 years old and lived a life of relative comfort, wealth and privilege. He had a good life. Most people don’t care either way
Thank you. Yes, we are mourning our great prince 🇬🇧
RIP Prince Philip. Thank you Dr Grande for this analysis. Here in UK he's viewed as a funny man who helped Queen Elizabeth devotedly. Much loved. Such are the views of everyone I know anyway.
I agree. The acceptance of the hand he was dealt. And made the best of it.
"She's more important than I am.."
"We have the same problem".😂 that's not offensive! 🤪
I totally cracked up at that!!!! That was a great comeback! 🤣🤣🤣
That comment needs to be added in history books. lol.
Absolutely. Honest and funny.
One of my favorite quotes from him!
Nah he’s a troll he knew he’d upset people he was the original troll
As someone who is frequently told I have "no filter" and likely has mild autism, I really appreciate others who just say what they're thinking (as long as it's not deliberately hurtful). Besides, how are we supposed to have a conversation about people's biases and work through them if no one is allowed to express them in the first place?
He definitely had Sag in his chart!!
There’s a time, and a place for no filter conversations. Right now, a well known person in western society has passed, and I would hope that people can at least be respectful, and support those that are now mourning Prince Phillip’s death.

It’s refreshing to hear a balanced, unbiased analysis on the man life and his achievements. Over the past 2 days in the UK all you hear on the radio and tv are sickly sweet opinions from the upper class.
@King Fedora - Same over here in Germany on the radio, though not by the upper class. Made you wonder whether this was really about him or a different, saint-like person.
The BBC brought up loads of his faults too. Still overall a great man. Arguably the most relatable royal after Harry
Really?
@@debrakaiser7700 I'm in the UK, OP is talking nonsense and being a snob
@@aeris2001 Who is being a snob?
I have great respect for prince Philip because he could of lived off his royal pedigree but he didn’t this man saw action in World War Two and he never made a fuss of it because of people like him the world is not speaking German today, R I R sir I remember seeing you in Trinidad when I was a school boy
I enjoy the analyses you have provided of public figures, Dr. Grande. This was no exception. I think your analysis of Prince Philip is perceptive and fair.
@jojo bean bean yeah, because you britbongs have secret knowledge...
I appreciate your view , our "American" view of British royal family is (probably) different from a British born view/perception, i would expect. I didn't grow up referring to anyone as "the queen mother."
Mother Teresa, the childless and unmarried nun holds a special place in my non catholic heart, have you Dr Grande analysed her?
If not, please?
Can we have a 10 minute reel of Prince Phillip's best gaffs!?!
I know this is a little off-topic, but WOW that pink shirt is really eye-catching! (and kind of "goes" with the orange-topped cactus in the pink pot, too.)
I was ina discussion about him just a day or two before he died. The guy was a national treasure(I'm not even British). May the gods rest your soul Philip, R.I.P.
He was supported by a Nation's treasury
@@PapiCthulu2 It has been reported by many sources over the years that the Royal Family brings in far more revenue to the nation than it costs.
So thoughtful Of you, to do a tribute to Prince Philip, it was simple wonderful!!!!!! 🤗🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
My parents were at a dinner at Adelaide University in the late 60s before they were married and he actually made a personal comment to them as he passed their table. A lot of figures of his stature don't engage like that.
@@TheCandiceWang I will post that shortly - have to ask one of them.
This man was only a breath away of living a century.
Great analysis. I agree with you. He was a single minded, honest intelligent man. Not everyone's cup of tea, but he was who he was. No B.S.
Philip had problem adjusting not with the royal duties but when his wife unexpectedly became queen he had to live under one roof with the ex queen and mother-in-law Elizabeth and grandmother-in-law Mery, also an ex queen.
What normal man can adjust for living with three queens. So he was often missing from the palace spending quality time with his pals, partying, dancing, drinking. To keep her marriage Elizabeth moved her mom and grandma and gave him green light to do whatever innovations and modern accommodations he wished to. Thus she kept him closer and busy.
I never gave prince Phillip a second thought, but the highlights presented the last few days have given me a feeling of fondness for him. I’m sure he was one of the most interesting, personable royals .
A remarkable man and life. Growing up in the UK every young person aspires to the Duke of Edinburgh award which he started. It motivates young people to be community minded, charitable and physically fit. Its an honorable award and something to be proud of. My sympathies to Her Majesty The Queen and the royal family. Thank you Dr. Grande!
I agree. He was basically a good guy. RIP sir. My condolences to her majesty & family.
Anyone who lived to be almost 100 who enjoyed good health most the time, had enough money, a healthy spouse and kids truly was blessed. The Queen must be very very sad. My heart aches for her.
Really enjoyed this, I do anyway with all your work but especially this one. Not really a royalist but feel for the Queen. He made her happy. RIP Prince Philip.
Good morning Dr Grande.
Thanks for today's video.
Your shirt is gorgeous Dr Grande. Very nice.
He sounds wonderfully dry, funny, fair, and incredible work ethic. I've not an ill word to utter about a man who copes, and adapts and works , and works, and works, his entire family life.
It's humbling, and very inspiring.
May Prince Phillip, rest in peace.

You gave me a gold award for the hikes in highschool 🏕
Did you meet him?
@@fitnesswithsteve Sadly no. Perhaps I should’ve clarified... his initiative did. Not him personally.
Well done! The Gold is hard work, I hear!
@@laravonstaden1838 Thank you! Yes it is, our group travelled to the Sahara desert in central Australia (I’m from Sydney). It was a fantastic experience. We rode camels 🐪
My Mom(83 yrs old ) and I are at the end of season two of The Crown. I love that we enjoy the series together. I found this video to be very interesting and right on time. Thank you.
Please learn more about Princess Alice, Prince Phillip's mother. She was very hard of hearing & became very religious. Her husband was a known womanizer & her religious views became troublesome, so she was committed to the mental institution. I doubt she was really schizophrenic, as critera was not as refined as today & people who were troublesome wee often committed to mental institutions.
The Princess Alice's Aunt Elizabeth also became an Orthodox nun who was murdered by the Bolsheviks ans later declared a saint, as was her other Aunt, the Czarina Alexandra, also declared a saint.
Seems like extreme religiosity and sainthood were the family business.
@@meeeka Religiosity?
He also set up the Duke of Edinburgh scheme for young people, and was patron of many charities. I feel so sorry for the Queen, she is going to miss him terribly.
He lived a hell of a life. Their love story is really pretty amazing. He wasn't perfect, but he was almost 100. I'm so glad u covered this. I see our friend is still missing, lol. Thank you 🌱🌳🏵🌸
How is the "we have the same problem in my family" offensive or whatever? It IS funny and he's literally complimenting his wife.
It would be funny if it wasn't true that he felt humiliated by I living in the Shadows of his wife
Being funny is offensive in America. It's disparaging towards the non-humorous community.
Oh you work faster then I make coffee... My respects and to the royal family and my brothers in UK. ❤

Thank you Adriana.
By all means let's continue the charade of a feudalistic undemocratic relic of a bygone past that has no relevance in the 21st century.
Very witty & funny 😄
@@Abraham_Tsfaye been respectful of people that lost a loved one, royal or not has nothing to do with what you believe in, it about kindness.
Many English people have a very dry humour and some people don't get it. My best friend has this quality. I liked Prince Phillip. He seemed to be a little immature compared to Queen Elizabeth, even when she was young. She seemed quite serious. For me, he seemed like a kid who needed growing up. I don't think he was serious when he said those inappropriate words. He really loved the Queen but it took some time for him to accept that she was much smarter and more important than him. I have watched some of The Crown and so far impressed. Harry reminds me of his Grandfather. I am not too keen on Prince Charles and wish Prince William is the next King. That was a great presentation. As a Canadian I am interested in the crown. My mother loved the Queen and looked a lot like her and about the same age. I would like to know the reason they live so long. Genetics or living a sheltered life ❤️❤️🇨🇦. Love your shirt and your plants are doing well...your humour makes me smile everytime.
I paused to say- The Lord High Admiral title would have meant a lot to Phillip- it was very touching. His was "on track" in his career to become "First Sea Lord and Chief of the Naval Staff"- the office of which which had been held by his Grandfather and Uncle. He had to resign from the RN when George V died so young-he had every expectation of a long Naval career at the time of his marriage. He was an alpha male for sure. He had a very sad childhood and made the most of his life he could. A wonderful Husband for the Queen. Edit to say- That was on the whole- a lovely respectful analysis. Thank you. He definitely was judged on his worst moments. I would like to add that the Queen is a "great bird" they had a "passionate" relationship-with all that entails - but her mother and sister were annoying to him- they were most likely what he complained about. Margaret was an entitled, spoiled, rude woman in her youth. I think she was humbled by old age and infirmity.
@@TheCandiceWang I dont. I read "Ma'am Darling" about "Margo"- that was eye opening. Margaret was imperious and demanding to be around by all accounts. And fun I am sure- but she was entitled. She did spend a lot of time with the Queen and Prince Phillip in her younger days. I think over all they were a close family. The Queen Mother had her reservations about his suitability. They did butt heads. Philip actually had more Royal Blood in him than the Queen or Margaret. The Queen Mother was chosen to be a suitable bride (by Queen Mary) for "the spare" not the heir. So she had no reason to be a snob about Phillip. But she was a great Queen. Queen Mary was the best Queen and one of the most interesting British Royals of the 20th century IMO.
It's not a bad thing to know where you stand with people. Though it still may ruffle feathers. Thanks Dr.T
✌
Please do one on DMX he had a very neglected upbringing and was never really nurtured. He always had demons he was battling and wanted to remain on the good side. He did do bad to survive but he also had a caring side. Be interested to hear your thoughts about him.
As a somewhat anti-monarchist Brit, I’m usually Royal Family averse - you can only imagine how extensive the seemingly wall-to-wall media coverage of the Duke of Edinburgh’s passing is over here in the UK - but obviously I make an exception for a Dr. Grande video! This upload _actually_ made me reconsider some of my views about Prince Philip...plus, how did I not even know he & the Queen were distant cousins!!!😬☺️
Fellow Brit here - I didn’t know that either!
All European royals are related as Queen Victoria’s daughters of whom she had many married into them all
@@molybdomancer195 yeah they are all ‘inbreds’
Sincere apologies that my comment offended you, @TheCandiceWang [or anybody else]; that was certainly not my intent.
Due to the the British media’s persistent propensity, purportedly dissecting with often "questionable" journalistic integrity, absolutely *ANYTHING,* & _EVERYTHING,_ even _remotely_ royalty-related [although, _very occasionally,_ reporting a member of said family’s *ACTUAL* scandalous behaviour…'cough! _Prince Andrew + Jeffrey Epstein,_ cough!'😱] - plus _numerous_ royal family births, marriages, divorces, deaths & funerals having occurred during my *own* lifetime thus far, & the resultant, seemingly never-ending, infinitely lengthy accompanying blanket coverage devoted to said events over the decades - are almost _ENTIRELY_ the cause of my attempted, all-encompassing avoidance & encyclopaedic-averse, decidedly lacking comprehension of their family’s antics & extended biographies…beyond the unavoidable, ineludible bare minimum, anyway!
Hence my wholehearted agreement with you of my self-admitted, *complete &* _utter_ *ignorance* of _THAT_ particularly noteworthy nugget of knowledge!🙃 - regarding them being _actual_ distant cousins!😬
A+ on Current Events❣️ Appreciate the history lesson. I feel I never learned enough world history in school here in the US! ❤️
I'm a teacher now but in my rural midwestern school system we never had any history other than US. I taught myself a lot later on to make up for it!
I went to european schools but I also have much to learn about history. That´s one of the best aspects of life, that we have the chance to learn our whole life.
@@mariebernier3076 I hear you! Additional reading and travel helped broaden my world history knowledge.
@@fruhbisspattv5259 Agree! 💕💖💕 in addition to reading and traveling as I mentioned in another comment, there are also good TH-cam videos and classes that I’ve learned from.
I'm Canadian where we learn world history. All my cousins were taught was the history of the US. My geography of the USA was better than there's as well
My overall impression is of an intelligent, forward thinking, active, decent man who did his best - and who had a very quirky humour. He was an amazing companion to the Queen and spent his life in service to others. A good nut. Nicely said, Dr G!
Thank you for presenting a fair and balanced analysis of Prince Philip!
Thank you for being so respectful Dr G your such a nice person 😊💜
I love the royal family. The Queen Mother’s actions during WWII were brave and showed her Country that they can all be strong. My heart breaks for Queen Elizabeth. A relationship, love and respect for each other of over 70 years duration is amazing. I hope that the Duke rests in peace and I pray for strength and peace for the Queen and his loved ones.
Lovely message Joycie!
His sense of humour was mostly borne out of his time on the ships during the war. It was considered regular repartee among seamen, hence why it didn't always transpire well with the landlubbers. We loved him with all his foibles. RIP Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh
Thank you Dr. Grande, much love from London UK. Your contemporary touch warms my actual heart.
You are minimizing the difference among generations - attitudes about jokes, insults, mental health care, sexual insults, race, etc were quite different 85 yrs ago when Prince Phillip came to manhood
That was my thought as well. I think he deserves a lot of credit for changing with the times as much as he did; he championed the environment and biodiversity long before the discussion was mainstream. I thank God that no one is judging *me* for the stupid, off-the-cuff remarks I have made (and instantly regretted) in my life. I say cut him some slack.
I think this makes sense but, at the same time, he's a public figure with a lot of influence. And he had many opportunities to learn and change with the times. It's not like he doesn't have access to information and advice from people around him on what's still an acceptable joke nowadays.
Okay, but in 2021 the comments section seems quite impressed by his spear-chucking remark.
@@newwavenancy Ignorance of different cultures, mores, & generational attitudes & beliefs, & intolerance of elders inability to change is too common among youth
Three yrs before Prince Phillip was born much of Europe was still a Victorian era feudal empire. Extensive discussions with my parents & grandparents prove a completely different frame of reference with disease caused by miasma in air or ill wishes & a sense of hierarchy predestined. Yes they superficially changed with times, but attitudes were ingrained from their teenage years.
He had a very full life experience. Glad you made this video, because my husband mentioned Prince Philip this morning to me, and I was curious about him. Thank you.
Any other UK listener shout at the screen with every mispronunciation of Edinburgh??? Another fantastic video & insightful overview Dr Grande so you're forgiven xx
He had a funny bone although had tendency to hit people over the head with it...sort of. Thank you for your tribute to a good man dr.Grande.
To me he and the queen represent something like the last of Victorian Britain, something to a large part swept away by the first world war and modern times. Some of the Victorian ethos translates well to changing times but much of it doesn't. Great analysis Dr. Grande.
One of your best efforts, to date! You've actually changed how I view Prince Philip. Amazing!
All the best🖖🙏🇨🇦
Thanks Dr. Grande for doing this analysis! I always thought Prince Philip was a great husband to Queen Elizabeth. Their marriage was like a fairy tale. Thinking about royalty and the lifestyle, they missed out and don't have the common persons' freedom. He lived a great long life. Queen Elizabeth will miss him dearly. As outspoken as he was, I always saw the good in him. TFS :)
Congratulations! You did this so well.
Out of tragedy into an epic. In times ahead, the world will know just what we owe him.
WOW! Thank you for this Dr Grande, what an excellent topic to cover, I can't wait to watch.
Always looking forward to your videos and checking out the sources that you link below. Just wanted to let it here how much I appreciate it. I wish I had your talent for extracting only the important sources, but I am always all over the place. Much love!
As always, the good Doctor keeps it timely and topical and I'm here for it. 🤓 Kudos as well on the new thumbnail captions. Love how it, along with the set, shows a continual refining of the channel to match the already quality content.
A nice, fair, objective look at Prince Phillip.
He was Handsome when he was young. He was a good man, brave, humorous and a wonderful consort. And he helped change things that needed changing. He and the Queen lived a literal fairy tale. 🧚♀️🦄🏰❤️
May the queen feel comfort and may prince philip rest in peace.
I liked Phillip. He was blunt and spoke his mind. My kind of person. Rest in Peace.
No one is perfect. We all have shortcomings...Prince Philip kept it real! Refreshing to me 😊
This was so well done! Thank you for such a variety with your videos.
Prince Philip, trying to be as English as possible (like Korda, Leslie Howard, Pressburger etc., he came to England as a foreigner and turned himself into the ultimate English patriot), recognized that the most important national character trait of the English is humour. He tried to be humorous as a way of being very English and in that almost unique way the English have of developing ideas in conversations with others using humour, a catalyst for thought.
I personally love a person who one knows where they stand I hate fake people R I P Prince Phillip.
Honestly, if I hear that someone is "offensive" nowdays, I just see that as good trait.
Depends on in what way they're being offensive...
Hello Dr Grande. Thank you for your unbiased analysis. I was born in England, and Prince Philip has been in my life since I was born. It is sad that our Queen has lost her consort, but even worse, Her Majesty has lost her best friend too. Jane in New Zealand
