Prince Philip

I never met Prince Philip, but I have lived in countries ruled by his wife. (England 2007-2010, Canada 2010-2012) I felt sad when I heard about his death and I noticed that many obituaries spoke about something deeper than just sadness. A sense of loss, the end of a time, the passing of an age. John Milbank wrote: Prince Philip took more pride in the roles he had accidentally inherited than in the personal gifts which he was never able fully to develop.
