ROYAL sycophants have being waxing lyrical, praising Prince Philip on reaching his 90th birthday.

They are falling over themselves to say how well he has done to reach such an age and still be working.

However, as far as I am concerned, this man displays some of the worst traits to be found in any human being.

He is both arrogant and conceited.

Nor does he have any regard or respect for the tax-paying public who have paid for his life of luxury.

What the royal family refer to as work is things like attending the FA Cup Final, appearing at Royal Ascot and watching the Royal Command Performance at the London Palladium.

Nice work if you can get it.
