Britain is in a state of mourning following the passing of His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Phillip, who was husband to Her Majesty the Queen and father to the next in line to the throne, Prince Charles, Prince of Wales. Terry, who monitors for ShoutOut the news channels and international broadcasts daily, reports that in an age of multiple channels, with dozens of news stations and rolling news services on the air, the landscape of public discourse is very different from even the last major royal death, that of the Queen Mother or that of Diana, Princess of Wales, in 1997.
