As you've no doubt heard by now, Prince Philip passed away last week at the age of 99.
For obvious reasons, the death didn't exactly come as a surprise, and sadly, the response from the British tabloid media was equally predictable.
If you've been anywhere near social media over the past four days then you've almost certainly encountered news of the passing of Prince Philip.
Husband to Queen Elizabeth II for 73 years, Philip was a divisive figure in the final decades of his life:
Earlier this week, news of Prince Philip's hospitalization was greeted the world over with grim consternation.
After all, Philip is 98, an age at which many, if not most, hospital check-ins are final.
Prince Philip is not your typical 98-year-old royal.
In fact, as far as we can tell, the man's lifestyle has more in common with Keith Richards than with any of the King Richards.
Looks like we've got a new contender for the title of Most Tumultuous Couple in Buckingham Palace!
Sure, William might have cheated on Kate, and the British tabloid press has been relentless in its pursuit of dirt on Harry and Meghan -- but those whippersnappers have nothing on the OGs of royal drama.
Obviously, his wife, Queen Elizabeth II, has been at center stage for the entirety of their 72-year marriage, but if you've ever watched The Crown, you know that Prince Philip is quite the badass in his own right.
And in case you were unaware, homie flipped his Land Rover and walked away from the accident at age 97 today just to prove it to you.
While often seen as traditional, Queen Elizabeth II has always proven that even she can break from tradition when she chooses.
Is she planning to do so again in the most unexpected of ways - by retiring from the throne she has held for nearly 65 years?
Queen Elizabeth II's husband Prince Phillip must have been inspired by his grandson Prince Harry when he donned a kilt in Scotland over the weekend.
At the Gathering for the Highland Games (yup, the competition in Brave is based on a real thing) this weekend, the 91-year-old royal let it all hang out.
