Despite being a little off topic, it was amusing to see a quote from Prince Philip here. Not only does he have no influence on Puna he has no influence in the UK either. Over there he's seen as a bit of a fruitcake who has a son who talks to plants and is as loony as his father. Neither of them have any real political power, thankfully, and whatever opinions you see from them, whether they're about the UK, Hawaii or whatever, are utterly meaningless and often very embarrassing.
