Former Royal Chef's Culinary Tribute to Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh

[@lesliecas2695]

You can tell Prince Phillip had respect for the work the chefs did.

[@margarettay1358]

The Prince had respect for people. I remember he was quite incensed when he heard the term "Human Resource" . He said Human Beings are not a resource. They are the raisin d'etre for corporations to exist.

You might not be good at cutting mangos, but you've done an excellent job at this tribute video!

[@justinsublett5880]

He was a gentleman of the old British Empire. Stately and dignified. As an American, I always felt like he was so refined and cultured. He also saw a lot of life. Think about how much the world changed from the time he was born until his death.

[@riyadhrafique8377]

In almost 100 years- you're talking about the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s' The Great Depression of the 1930s', WWII (1939-1945), The Cold War (1948-1991), Korea (1950-1953), Vietnam (1959-1975), The Watergate Scandal (1974), The Bicentennial (1976), Disco (70s'-80s). A few more months and Prince Phillip would have been a centenarian!!

[@maryoleary2037]

Justin, I agree with and appreciate, the fine compliments that you pay Prince Philip. However, he was not a gentleman of the old British Empire. The British Empire ceased to exist in 1945 and Philip didn't marry the Queen until 1947. The Empire was replaced with the Commonwealth and like the Queen, Prince Philip dedicated himself to its cause. The Empire was gone before Philip was on the scene. The days of colonialism ended and were replaced by voluntary membership in the Commonwealth of Nations.

Looked like the entrance to Buckingham Palace. He walked past, and found a gate, like going into a pasture. His dog, from his youth was there, as well as a guy with a notepad. The deceased guy asked, what was that, up the road? Oh, that is to lure in the treasure seekers. Why is my dog here? She has been waiting, for 55 years.

Through this you've shown your viewers what tabloids, drama series and books never could. You've done well by him.
