Some things to expect over the next few days now that Prince Philip has died...

1. Most media will have pre-prepared content about Prince Philip so we can expect back-to-back coverage of his life, his loves, his work, his achievements blah blah blah...

2. Social media will be aflame with people pointing out all his faults, including his womanising and his racism...
3. The media will feel obliged to provide balanced coverage while at the same time doing their duty to the queen and not speaking ill of the dead so expect plenty of awkward moments as commentators try and dance around the issue of his womanising and his racism...
4. Everyone will start watching the Crown again...
5. Prince Harry will come back for the funeral, possibly without Megan, and coverage of this will dominate the airwaves...
6. Kate whatsherface will wear a nice hat to the funeral...
7. This is a prime time to bury bad news so keep your eye on what the government is up to...
8. The Conservative party will make glowing statements about the Royal family, using it as an opportunity to shore up their Royalist supporter base...
9. Everyone will slag off Labour for not being gushing enough...
10. PRs trying to get coverage for their clients will be in crisis mode as all their stories will be dropped in favour of stuff about the Prince. Cue a mountain of stories that link to the Prince Philip in some tenuous way.
