He was not a universally beloved figure.

I mean one old guy died and the whole country's media shuts down. It's a bit OTT

he was literally married to a queen

I mean it’s death. The queen’s death would be different though. I think people will be more interested to know what happens given the pageantry.

That's okay with me. Everyone dies. A person can't care about every death.
If people cared about it enough, they'd turn into the coverage. But they didn't.
"Being married to the queen" apparently isn't enough to get the people to care about it.

yeah which is pretty crazy cause that seems like a good reason to care

It was totally over the top imo. I wouldn't mind if one channel had Philip coverage for the day but the fact that all 3 main channels did it was ridiculous. Apparently streaming service numbers jumped that day, which doesn't surprise me. 

Also the radio played mournful instrumental songs for most of the day. You couldn't get away from it! 

All I wanted was to watch the Masterchef final lmao

Maybe there WILL be an audience when Prince Andrew is taken to justice and has the media all over him.

It was way too much and it wasn't fair to air it all night to interrupt older people's programmes... Every TV channel should've largely stuck to schedule after the initial hour or two.

I think it was a dress rehearsal for when the queen dies. It’s going to be like how Friday was but for an entire week.

Phillip dies is a way for Bojo ram Union Jacks down everyone’s throats, stop the media highlighting his failures in Government. 

Billions of taxpayers money swindled away to dodgy contracts

Riots in Northern Ireland

Scotland is on the verge of leaving the ‘U’K

Businesses going out of business because of Brexit

The country is in mayhem with Brexit.

All the media can talk about... Phillip....
