This snarky, and unfeeling comment is not only inappropriate but unwarranted. As others have pointed out they were not first cousins, so their marriage was appropriate under civil law, canon law, and not a significant issue genetically. A family has lost a beloved member; common decency should preclude such unfeeling comments regardless of your feelings concerning the monarchy.

You have a wicked sense of humor. Paint your Plantation shutters and you may be ok.

Please keep your snide remarks to yourself.

FYI.
Elizabeth and Philip were second cousins once removed (by descent from Christian IX of Denmark and Louise of Hesse-Kassel) and third cousins (by descent from Queen Victoria and Prince Albert).

Ummmm, I think you just confirmed the original post.🤣

Some great lines in here! I fear it may be just about time to cut the Royals loose; have them vacate any Public Housing they still occupy and see if they can all survive in the cruel world with just their family's billion Pounds or two......

Perhaps it is time to cut the Royals loose ?

I thought you had. Many years ago.
Why would they concern you now?
