Prince Philip

Twitter buzz that he’s departed from his human form and joined the great Lizard clan-ship currently orbiting Saturn, which will be officially announced this evening.

Hate it when social media gets your hopes up.

wait, shit. how do royal deaths work? does the day of mourning carry over to a weekday?

Let’s just keep it to the funeral and do it in the week. We don’t want a half day today. Power through you brave, brave people.

I don’t think Phil would warrant one unfortunately. They cut back all this stuff a while ago, I think it’s just Madge who gets the full works.

sad that he died before becoming king

Oh no, don’t tell me Jesus died too

Why would this be embargoed? Do loads of things get embargoed?

Remember when The Sun posted that article about him being dead when there was a rumour about it a year or so ago?
