Watch This Aussie Comedian Make A Joke About Prince Philip & Then Find Out That He Just Died

Aussie comedian Lewis Spears made some NSFW jokes about Prince Philip and The Royal Family at his standup show on Friday, and whaddya know, he had actually just died.

During his set, Spears makes a joke that Prince Philip probably “invented racism” because he’s about “3000 years old.” However, immediately afterward someone called out and said “he’s dead.” Yep, while Spears was making Royal Family jokes, it was announced that Philip had passed away.

Someone even passed their phone up to the comedian to prove that Philip had actually just died.

“It is with deep sorrow that Her Majesty the Queen has announced the death of her beloved husband, the Royal Highness,” Spears read out to the audience.

But Lewis Spears didn’t just stop then and there with the Prince Philip jokes, he actually continued to roast the man for another four minutes.

“He heard about his death and proceeded to make fun of him for 4 minutes. Lewis is great,” one person wrote in the YouTube comments.

“What’s Prince Philip gonna do write a complaint?” Someone replied.

Of course, everyone was taking the piss in the comment section and that is to be expected considering how many jokes have been made about Philip in the past.

“Lewis roasted him so hard that he died of embarrassment before the joke,” wrote one commenter.

“Can’t believe a corpse died and then Lewis managed to murder him again,” another said.

Philip passed away peacefully at Windsor Castle on Friday morning local time. The news was shared on Twitter, and since then many people have expressed their condolences, including Prince Harry & Meghan Markle.

Their post read: “In Loving Memory Of His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh, 1921-2021, Thank You For Your Service…You Will Be Greatly Missed.”

Prince Philip’s funeral will be held this Saturday at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle.
