Title: Is the Duke of Edimburgh a God?
Post by: reyfer on June 10, 2007, 01:50:59 AM

Britain's Duke of Edinburgh may be planning a quiet birthday celebration at home this weekend, but there will be feasting and flag-waving in an isolated jungle village in the South Pacific nation of Vanuatu, where he is worshipped as a god.

This is BBC reporter making fun of their own Prince Phillip. No wonder British monarchy is in declined.  It is not a fair comment. What BBC expect The Royal Palace to do? Come out and argue with them?

I don't think they intended to make fun of Prince Phillip. An Interesting story! And I thought God-Emperor's were already extinct.
