His biggest achievement seems to be not dying young.

A terrible thing to say about another human being in my opinion.

I also disagree that "being PC is just good manners" - you need a  four year university degree course to get it right these days!
it's getting ridiculous that so many are offended on behalf of others for the slightest thing!

Never heard of the Duke Of Edinburgh's Award Scheme then Lindsey ? Or that he's been patron of some 800 organisations, particularly focused on the environment, industry, sport, and education.

Some people would dearly love to be able to say that a close relative was still around to say their greatest achievement was not to have died aged 36.

I get really cross when people point out that the royal family do a lot for charity;  yes, they turn up now and again, the red carpet is rolled out, an expensive meal is prepared, and they can put a royal name on their letterheads. 
Would no one give to charity if it wasn’t for them;  do people say to themselves ‘oh look, so and so is a patron of that charity, I’ll get my credit card out’. I don’t think so.
What else have they got to do?  Do you really think Philip does the heavy lifting for his award scheme.
Apart from putting his name to things, what else are his achievements?

Is the above line from your earlier post a perfect example of good manners? I really don't think so, no matter what you think of him that is just downright nasty and makes you a bit of a hypocrite.
