He married into the British royal family. He supported Britain all the way. He supported the family he married into all the way. As royal consort he attended innumerable functions, he visited all over the world, he worked hard. We ought to admire the British royal family for the support and good feeling they have drawn out of us Americans. For example, during the Falklands crisis, when the Americans did not want to offend every Spaniard in all of South America, the Brits were able to get air to air refueling support, satellite intel, and a general helpful attitude from the Yankees, partly, perhaps largely, because of the glamour and pizzaz shown by the Royals. Stuff like that is worth the relatively minor expense of operating the royal family. The royals cost less than an aircraft carrier or an infantry division and they can be very effective.
Phillip did his duty, all the way, and we will miss him.
