The Commodore of the Royal Yacht Squadron and the Colonel of the Rifles being received by Prince Philip may, just may, signify the end of these two patronages for Prince Philip, who will be 98 in June. The handing over of them to younger members of the family perhaps.

I agree @Curryong and I believe that his grandchildren are likely to be the recipients.

Hi, I'm working on a really exciting project surrounding the Royals, and I am on the hunt for some great case studies. If you have any images of any of the royals (which you/a family member has taken), and you'd be interested in finding out more about my project, please drop me a message with your email address and I will send you over a bit more info!

Yes, and the Queen looks as good as ever. May she continue for another ten years! All the senior royals, HM, Charles, William, Harry have received Commonwealth prime ministers this week. There may be an element, among the genuine greetings, of getting some sort of feel for how the meeting on Friday is going to go regarding Charles's bid.

The comments on Andrew and Harry, perhaps H should seek other kinds of work that may satisfy him, he has a Royal timeline when George, Charlotte and baby 3 and possibly a 4th come forward.

Times are changing fast and the mood towards the monarchy too. People seems to tolerate the Direct Heirs to the throne with their charity, representation in the CW, and ribbon cutting.

The quality rather than quantity seems to be creeping up. Serious work behind the scenes rather than stage set up of once a year show.

Despite Charles critics, people are starting to understand his realized endeavours Prince's trust, Highgrove, organic sustainability farming and what else.
