US ponzi fraudster Bernie Madoff left behind only misery and heartache
OPINION : Bernie Madoff is dead , and it is unlikely that even the people who were once closest to him will shed a tear. Not his wife, Ruth, whose life was destroyed when Madoff's Ponzi scheme was revealed in December 2008. Not his brother, Peter, Madoff's former chief compliance officer, who spent nearly a decade in prison after pleading guilty to a variety of charges. Not his niece Shana , Peter Madoff's daughter, who also worked in the compliance department. And certainly not his daughters-in-law or his grandchildren; both his sons died after he went to prison, one from suicide and the other from cancer. By all appearances, Madoff loved his family deeply. He once held his son Mark's hand for the duration of a dinner because Mark was going through a difficult divorce, according to Town & Country.

Prince Philip the 25th royal buried in vault – but it won’t be his final resting place
Prince Philip is the 25th member of the Royal Family to be interred in the 200-year-old vault hidden beneath St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle.

There, they will be reunited and rest alongside the remains of the Queen’s father George VI, her mum the Queen Mother and sister Princess Margaret.

Prince Philip will be remembered as a man of “courage, fortitude and faith” at a martial but also personal funeral that will mark the death of a royal patriarch who was a beloved husband and father, and one of a dwindling number of World War II veterans.
