Prince Philip: Is this the sickest man in the UK?

For those who thought there was anything serious about the cited article's supposed concern with Phillip's war service—which the polemicist never actually covered in spite of repeated snide promises—the Wikipedia entry is here.
I suspect those who take this sort of diatribe seriously may well have similarly tenuous relationships with facts and reality in other fields. It is noteworthy that in only one instance was a specific published source cited for an allegation distinguished this time by the writer, 'as a fact, not surmise'. No sign it caught on.
But if flying spittle, slander and insult to enraged excess are your thing, what a read.

My grandmother was English, and immigrated to Canada at age 30. So you don't want to be telling my mom this kind of stuff. She drank the kool-aid at an early age, and still has a portrait of the Queen in her living room.
Although Oldjones has already covered it. It is hard to take any article seriously from an website entitled "Kill the Bankers." Further anyone stupid enough to write that H.R.H. the Duke of Edinburgh seeks to "con the gullible nation into thinking he is some kind of battled hardened war hero" obviously knows absolutely nothing about his service in the Royal Navy.

Hate to break it to you CC but not any more than the British, French, German, Russian, or Austro-Hungarian aristocracy. Or for that matter many religious groups in North America.
Correct. Off to the guillotine with all of them.
Den 25de September 1790.
Hver Mand i Byen om Indtoget taler,
om Transparenter og Danserens Gang.
Dekorationer og Porte man maler,
synger, hvad elleve Muser besang.
Alle begloede,
faa kun forstode
Digterens Fingal og Frode[1].
Ordener hænger man paa Idioter,
Stjærner og Baand man kun Adelen gier,
men om de Mallinger, Suhmer og Rother[2],
man ej et Ord i Aviserne ser.
Dog, har man Hjærne,
kan man jo gjærne
undvære Orden og Stjærne.
Rigdommen voxer i Adelens Bleer;
og, som en Skomager nylig har sagt,
ene de van'er og von'er og de'er
holder Fortuna og Plutus i Agt.
Har vi ej meget,
er det vor eget,
som ej fra Staten er sveget.
Her man despotiske Satser ej lærer;
Lighed blandt Mennesker drive vi paa;
og ej, som Jydernes Proprietærer,
ønske os Slaver og Bønder at flaa.
Selv vi os føde;
Agerens Grøde
vi ej som Dosmere øde.
Stormanden svirer og glemmer den arme,
kan ham med kold Ligegyldighed se.
Vi ere Smaafolk og føle med Varme,
midt under Sviren, Elendigheds Ve.
Hungriges Mave
fordrer en Gave;
giver! og Tak skal I have.
P.A. Heiberg 1870
Some folks hang Queen pics, others Jesus, Elvis, unicorns. The list goes on. Who cares. It's fairly obvious the lower one dips into the gene pool, the more stupidity will be unearthed
Why is it not convincing? He joined at 18, went to Naval Officer school, and spent most of his time in the Mediterranean. He ended WW2 as a Commander.
Why? Didn't the link get you to Wikipedia? All I wanted to convince anyone of was the value of examining facts—as much as this disputatious world can claim there are such critters—instead of wasting time on unsupported libels.
Or is your skepticism related to events between 1939 and 1945? In which case, it's up to you to connect us to differing evidence cited elsewhere, and convince us of its superior weight, if you can. I left any such 'convincing' to Wikipedia, and you're as welcome as anyone to judge what it says.
And revise it.

Do go down to the part where Harry Hargreaves who served as a Yeoman on H.M.S. Wallace – remembered the night attack by the Luftwaffe - "Prince Philip saved our lives that night. I suppose there might have been a few survivors, but certainly the ship would have been sunk. He was always very courageous and resourceful and thought very quickly. You would say to yourself, What the hell are we going to do now? and Philip would come up with something."
There is no doubt that the European aristocracy is not any less inbred than Prince Philip. In the past the royal families thought it was a good idea to keep their wealth and power in the family. In ancient Egypt, the Pharaoh married his sister.
Which is very bad genetically as well as psychologically.
But we are not talking of that are we? Pray tell me save for the Habsburg Lip which has largely left the family over the past two centuries what other example of genetic problems caused by marriages of various degrees of cousins can you point to? Certainly Hemophilia B from which a number of Queen Victoria's descendants suffered is not a good example having arisen spontaneously (which Type B - Christmas Disease often does) and also having a pattern of transmission which has very little to do with degree of relationship.
Which is pretty much true of any folks who don't get out and mingle much, or any group that thinks it's special, and better than those around them. Which partly accounts, f'rinstance for the folks south of Mason-Dixon still being nastily contrasting black and white instead of attractive shades of creamy coffee brown.
Nuthin' special about the aristocracy; we all do it. And any number of dog-breeders can tell you—and show you—why we shouldn't.
