Even though I am on the other side of the pond, it is still interesting to watch what happens with the Royals and in England in general. May he rest in peace and you are right, I think, that he did try to make amends in later life.

I wished for him to reach 100. He was a great Character and lived a difficult life for men, especially the era he was born into.

He tried to make up for all his faults in later life. And he was a generation that came from the war.

Yes.  I'm sure you are right.  But from what I have observed from new from over here for 80+ years, I'm sure he deserves all the flowers he gets.

You're right. This kind of news tends to linger.

May he R.I.P. He missed his 100th birthday by just 2 months. With his age, I had a feeling when he became ill that it was the beginning of the end.
