RIP Prince Philip
&
Nikki Grahame
Yesterday I learnt about the passing of HRH Prince Philip. I am no royalist as I, personally, believe that they only serve a purpose as figureheads. In the past the Kings of England would do things like lead the cavalry ahead of battle. HRH Queen Elizabeth wouldn't do such a thing. She would leave that her Generals and others and she would be protected somewhere far away from any conflict. Although Princes William & Harry both served in the Armed Forces I doubt they were in any real danger when were on the "Front Line". I put the term Front Line in "" because I think they may well have been on the Front Line but away from anywhere where there might have been a chance from them to be captured and held for a massive ransom. Enough of my opinions on the Royal Family as a whole. I would like to pass on my condolences to all who got to meet HRH Price Philip and all members of the Royal Family.
Today was the day that I heard about the passing of Nikki Grahame, a contestant on the "reality" TV series "Big Brother". I never quite got the whole "Big Brother" thing and as a result I never got to know of Nikki other than from outtake TV programmes that showed some of the gaffs from BB. However I would still like to pass on my condolences to all who knew and loved Nikki. I hear that she died from anorexia. I hope she finds the peace in death that she must not have had in life. Anorexia is a condition that has a lot of links with reality TV. I feel that more needs to be done to raise awareness of this, often, tragic condition.
Thanks for reading this entry and I look forward to adding more articles in the near future.
