Prince Phillip, the Duke of Edinburgh has died at nearly 100 years of age. So if you think he'd been around forever, he pretty much had!
Victoria Arbiter who happens to be the daughter of long time royal reporter Dickie Arbiter, is herself a royal commentator based in the United States.
The Prince, she says, had been ailing for a while now so his death comes as no great surprise.
