He will get off just like the rest of them.

Guilty of what, he's not on trial.
I'm aware you're talking about the Inquest into the death of Dodi Fayed and Diana, Princess of Wales. As far as I can see there is no proof whatsoever linking the Duke of Edinburgh to the death of Diana, nobody belives it excepte Mohammed al Fayed and I doubt he has any conclusive proof. If the Jury comes to the conclusion that Dodi and Diana were murdered by the Security services in conjunction with the Duke of Edinburgh, he would in all likelihood be arrested and put on trial.
However, the likelihood of the Jury reaching that decision is miniscule as Mohammed al Fayed has no proof whatsoever.
The Royal Family are subject to the law just as everyone else is.

Yes definitely .... he has huge entertainment value. Some of the things he comes out with are just completely off the map. He was visiting the Chelsea flower show and said to a lady in a wheelchair - "you want to be careful with that thing - you could catch somebody's ankles" or howsabout when he crushingly informed a little schoolboy "you'll never be an astronaut - you are far too fat". I mean even as a joke, it's just so stupid!

Why do people persist with this delusion? Its not a trial. The Legal terms Judge, Jury are thrown in to make people confused as with the Hutton enquiry before it, it has a very narrow mandate. In fact its an INQUEST!
People dont get found guilty.

I find it fascinating that people would believe an arms dealer over a war hero.
Why aren't you pointing fingers at the press photographers who chased Diana through the streets of Paris? Cripes, they're still doing the same things to Diana's sons. If William is killed in a car crash are you going to blame the Royal Family for that as well?

It won't come to even an accusation, as republics don't give out knighthoods.
On the subject of Prince Phillip, have you been watching Meet the Natives, Channel 4, Thursday? Tribesmen from Vanuatu (whose usual atire is just a straw sheath over their whatsits), brought to the UK to comment on our ways and customs for a documentary, believe that Prince Phillip is their god, and spend much of the series wondering when they can meet him (which they feel sure is inevitable, as he is one of them; though he only appears in spirit on Vanuatu).
It's a shame this encounter is unlikely - it is much more interesting than whether he's secretly a gangster or not.

Didn't Nostradamus prophesy the end of the British monarchy?Can't see it happening myself.The inquest will rule that the deaths of Diana and Dodi was a tragic accident,nothing more.If there was some plot to kill them nobody will ever be able to prove it.Those in the know have a wise philosophy."Say nothing and keep saying it."

I'm assuming you are referring to the allegations that he had something to do with Diana's death? Nothing, he won't be found guilty, because no one is taking those allegations seriously and he would never be prosecuted for it anyway.

The only thing he is guilty of is forcing his son to marry a beautiful girl he didn't love and then make that girl's life hell afterwards because she didn't measure up to his expectations.

Nothing, as far as the inquest goes. It can't deliver a penalty, only a verdict.
If "unlawful killing" is brought in, (which wouldn't, as far as I'm aware, be addressed at any particular individual: the jury may not be able to be that specific) Mr Al-Fayed might well try to bring a civil action, even if there is no subsequent criminal conviction.
(As in the OJ case)
