He is Colonel in Chief of the Welsh Guards so was wearing his full ceremonial uniform. No pranking, but still nice that they had a laugh.

The only thing the Queen ever staged was the parachute jump into the London Olympics with James Bond (Daniel Craig)

It was very nice of her to spend the time doing that to cover for him.

That is a lot of medals for an average guard

He didn’t have to fake anything. He was fully entitled to act as Royal Guard.

The Duke of Edinburgh was a colonel of the grenadier guards from 1975 to 2017. He had various military assignments during WWII.

So the queen and her son pretty much just had/have sex buddies with fancy titles?
Mithi
Yes, that's how it works.

Probably Waitrose or M&S. Something with a bit more class.

She drove trucks during the war I believe.

Don’t make these colonizer fuckers look cute
LurkerOfDarkness
And just exactly what did they colonise again?
ndifreke
I fear you’ve fallen to propaganda. Good luck! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Empire
Mokelzwerg
Jeez you’re dumb.
LurkerOfDarkness
Oh my god, you're really some next level stupid.
TerryToucan
Yea who did she colonise? Or is it just easy to be an arsehole about a person who's just died and did more good than you'll manage
ndifreke
It is so easy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Empire but enjoy your white supremacy
TerryToucan
Yet the article describes how the British Empire was established and expanded before she was ever crowned. As far as I can see, no country
TerryToucan
Was added to the empire after she became queen, but a lot regained their independence and a more cohesive commonwealth was created
TerryToucan
So take your stupid white supremist comment and shove it. Try not to be so stupid next time.

Please list all the countries colonised during the rule of Queen Elizabeth II.

Gorgrim
Great, you now have a list of places colonised. Now look up when the Queen was corinated, or is that too much work for you?
acinonyxjubatus
A fair number were un-colonised!
ndifreke
Is this supposed to make it better?
Gorgrim
Why wouldn't it? Was she the one who colonised these places in the first place?
TerryToucan
Of course. If she's been part of maintaining their colonial status that's not good. But redressing previous colonial actions, yes better
Mokelzwerg
Also she never had an active part in government.

I think she will live to be 100 years old.

Easily. Great idea of her's though to avoid any more drama from the conservative party.

Her mother lived until 101 so why not.

Ah, the silly hangup you yanks have about kissing-cousins.

And third cousins, btw: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Philip,_Duke_of_Edinburgh#/media/File:Elizabeth_II_Philipp-en.svg
merbaby
I mean, they were like third cousins, which for royals is actually pretty good (Go check out the Hapsburgs for comparison)
paintingagency
Definitely not ideal due to Euro royals previous genetic links, but apparently they really loved each other.
LurkerOfDarkness
Aside from the Habsburg, first cousin marriages weren't that common, and barely more prevalent than amongst the population at large.
michaelpaice2
So fucking what?
Davies46
So fucking family.
PileOfWalthers
Dunno why you’re getting downvotes for that. It’s true.
chittychittybangbanglovesustoo
Third cousin.
backrideup9
Still only OK if your happen to be a Turkish spy running for congressional office in a state you don't live in.
AmandaCANZED
It’s legal in all 50 states to marry second and beyond. It’s also genetically safe to do so. As far as previous royal marriages go, it’s
AmandaCANZED
Probably one of the least gross or propositional ones out there.

What are you doing step cousin?

Snopes has debunked this. Yes the photo is real but she’s laughing about bees and the chaos they caused.Royal bee keeper had to be called in

So he really should have been wearing a bee feeder uniform instead.

Phillip was also entitled to wear the uniform. I believe he was the Colonel-in-Chief.
uitSCHOT
Also, it's a bad prank if you're still gonna wear you garter sash and full array of medals that noone else in the same uniform has
