I'm disgusted by people who rejoice over the death of Prince Phillip, just because of his outdated political and social views.. on Twitter some individuals went as far as calling the decorated WW2 navy veteran a Nazi sympathizer, a man who fought the Nazis and even whose mother even saved the lives of over 200 Jewish families.
