Both Mick and Keith have issued tributes.

I don't know why the likes of Keith Richards would be sending a tender tribute to this person

It seems that Harry is jealous that his brother William and not he will be King.So rather than toiling in the background of his brother he married someone who would garner him huge, constant publicity.Had he married some pasty skinned English girl no one would notice.But by being the first member of the royal family to marry a black woman he gained huge worldwide praise and interest.Since Meghan is an American citizen ,I have no doubt the game plan is for her to someday run for US President with Harry as first husband

This is going to sound silly, but I've always associated him with James Bond for some reason. Maybe because the Bond of the Ian Fleming novels was, like Philip, a WWII royal navy veteran, and would have been a contemporary of his, born in 1921. Anyway, whenever I'd see a photo of Philip, I'd always think to myself, "That's how old James Bond is now."

On 4-Apr-2021 there was a Documentary about Mick (the made rebel) in German TV: Mick Jagger - Der gemachte Rebell? - [iorr.org] . Quote:

Formally, Mick is now part of the gentry. But does he really belong?" - [www.ZDF.de] - (Pos. 39:22).

I found Keith’s varying comments to be slightly tongue-in-cheek. If he feels so strongly against it, that’s pathetic, in my opinion. ‘All they stand for’? They’re a corporate entity: a whore to money. Keith doesn’t half tall out of his backside a lot of the time.

I don't get all the attacks the Stones get for posting their condolence. Also I find it kinda naive that people say it was not Keith who posted it and he would have never posted it. Keith - actually just like the others - might be a bit social media challeneged but there is no way he does not approve of what is posted on his account. No way he would let his verified page being used to express the views he does not approve or share. Also, he was just being a polite British gentleman, you might be not a huge fan of the Royals but as a human, you just feel sympathy for the Queen and late Prince Phillip's family.

I personally think that Keith and The Duke have got a lot in common and would have got on quite well if they had ever met.

Never will understand the point of Royalty. Especially now. RIP Phillip. I respect your service in the war.
