[Margaret Pilkington]

The people criticising Prince Philip must have self esteem issues.
They must feel that the way of bigging themselves up, is to bad mouth a man who is not here to defend himself....very immature.
It is the adult version of school yard name calling.
Maybe there is an element of social jealousy or envy.
I was taught that you did not speak ill of the dead, because although they could no longer be hurt by barbs, their family could....I was taught that if I could not say something good, then silence was the best option.
The thing about silence is that it can never be held against you or misquoted.
