'Preferring royalties' to the Royal Family 'doesn't wash with decent people'

Sky News host Alan Jones says "preferring royalties to the Royal Family doesn't wash with decent people".

Mr Jones said Prince Philip's ultimate legacy is public awareness of the values of the "old era, to which "the woke era has little to recommend".

He said when it came to being an outsider in the Royal Family, "Prince Philip knew more than Meghan ever would".

"Meghan Markle isn't even in the race. Prince Philip was exiled from his birthplace at 18-months. His mother was sent to an asylum when he was nine. He was shipped to England without a father or a mother," he said.

"He gave up his right to inherit the Greek throne in order to serve the woman he loved, Princess Elizabeth. He was Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark, linked to Queen Victoria. But his father was expelled from Greece and the Mountbattens took Philip under their wing.

"Philip's father had abandoned him, a far cry from Meghan Markle who abandoned her father and has not spoken to him. The father has not even seen his grandson. What daughter would do that? But she whines and complains.

"Prince Philip's own flesh and blood were forbidden from attending his wedding because his three sisters had been on the side of Germany during the war.

"Harry and Meghan weren't comfortable about the assertions of racism in the Royal Family, if indeed they existed, which I doubt. But Prince Philip was regularly called 'Phil the Greek;' he didn't do a long TV interview complaining about it."
