What a great man. Said it as it was, not always PC enough for the modern world (more of an age/era thing IMHO), a good man who gave up his amazing career for his wife and Great Britain.

I met him twice as a youth! As a sea cadet on guard duty... Great memories...

I loved seeing some of the old footage today how even the queen was a acknowledging his “lack of opinions”. It shows a great sense of humor and affection between them.

I think he was an amasing man who was grossly undervalued by many.

Funny that his sisters mostly married German Princes who fought on the German side during the war (one was a member of the NSDAP, another a member of the SS), yet his mother rescued Jews from the Nazi's in Greece. |
