A naked tribe in the southwest Pacific that believes Prince Philip is the god, decided to mourn him for 100 days.

Tanna Island in the Republic of Vanuatu (southwest Pacific) is inhabited by a nude tribe that worship Prince Philip as god. For that reason, when he heard that the Duke of Edinburgh died at the age of 99, the people of the tribe were deeply distressed. They decided to hold a funeral for their deceased god for 100 days.

The people of Tanna Island worship Prince Philip like god.

For the next 100 days, people gathered in an empty lot under the old banyan tree to calm down and drink kava (a mildly scented drink made from pepper tree roots) and eat local dishes, including food. pig wrapped in banana leaves cooked in the ground. This is a mandatory part of important tribal rituals.

The nude tribe held Prince Philip’s funeral for 100 days.

In addition, these three months are the time for the leaders of the tribal villages to reflect on who replaced Prince Philip in their spiritual beliefs. Prince Charles, the eldest son of Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth, is the brightest “candidate” chosen to become the spiritual leader of the tribe. The naked tribal people hoped that Prince Charles could do something his father had never been able to do – visit the islanders.

Village chief Yaohnanen, Jack Malia, said that mentally Prince Philip had always been a part of villagers’ lives. However, they did not get a chance to meet the Queen’s consort because he had never set foot on Tanna Island. “We never got the chance to meet him face to face. If [Thái tử Charles] Agree to come one day, he has to come down here so we can sit together and talk, ”he said.

The village chief of Yakel, Mr. Albi, affirmed that Prince Philip’s soul had left his body, but still existed and was searching for a new “home”. Mr. Albi also sent encouragement to Queen Elizabeth that, hope she does not grieve too much because even though his body is dead, but the soul is still alive.

Residents of Tanna Island were unaware of the announcement of the death of the Duke of Edinburgh on April 9. They still wake up and wake up early the next morning to harvest sweet potatoes. It was not until the afternoon of April 10 that a woman at a nearby resort received the update. Immediately, the women of the tribe burst into tears, and the men mourned in silence and tried to calm the children.

The tribesmen embraced pictures of Prince Philip in his memory.

They said that even though the Prince’s body was dead, the soul still existed.

“In 2007, we were brought to England. The connection between the people of Tana Island and the British was very strong. We extend our condolences to the royal family and the British people, ”said the village chief Yapa in a video message sent to the British Royal family.

Mary Niere, an accountant at a resort near the nude tribe, revealed that mourning is the island’s traditional custom for people facing great grief, which can last for weeks.

For decades, a tribe of 400 people worshiped Prince Philip as god. They prayed every day hoping he would protect their banana and potato crop. To date, it is not entirely clear why this tribe worship Prince Philip so much, even though he has never visited the island.

According to some sources, tribesmen saw large portraits of Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth when they visited Port Vila, Vanuatu, in the 1960s. Impressed when he married a ” white power queen, ”they began to believe that he was the embodiment of a volcanic spirit, one day returning to Tanna.

Prince Philip has never been to Tanna Island, only visiting Vanuatu’s capital, Port Vila.

The last time the Duke of Edinburgh arrived in Vanuatu was during a visit to the capital Port Vila in 1974. At that time, the island nation was an Anglo-French colony, named New Hebrides. During this trip by Prince Philip, the chieftain named Jack Naiva from Tanna and the others did not mind sailing the 240km distance to the capital to welcome their god.

Since then, the Prince’s status in the hearts of the tribal people of Tanna has been strengthened. The Naiva leader firmly believed, His Highness was sent down from heaven to protect the island and bring good luck to the people.

In author Matthew Baylis’ book about Matthew Baylis, tribal residents even speculate, Prince Philip helped Barack Obama become the first black man to be elected President of the United States in 2008. They hailed him maybe. tornado control.

In remote England, Prince Philip was born in awe of the admiration of the Tanna island tribes people for him. Over the years, he sent framed photographs of himself to this nude tribe. These photos are kept in the temple on the island,

Once, the tribe sent Prince Philip a traditional weapon, called nal-nal, used to hunt pigs, and asked him to take pictures with it. Prince Philip accepted the request, but did not forget to complain to his assistant about the strange item before. When it was received in 1980, it is considered sacred and preserved to this day.

Prince Philip’s photo is preserved in the temple.

Prince Philip learned of the existence of the naked tribe and repeatedly sent photos to them.

The tribesmen still longed for Prince Philip to visit once, but now they strongly believe that his soul will come to Tanna. Not only that, they also assured Prince Philip to be black. “If he turns white, it will only happen in other countries,” the leader named Willie Lop announced.

The tribesmen believed that Prince Philip was black, only turning white in another country.
