Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh

Near this day where no doubt his family have had to commemorate so many of the brave, this article helps look at the lighter side of one, notably Prince Philip:

"It looks as though it was put in by an Indian." The Prince's verdict of a fuse box during a tour of a Scottish factory in August 1999. He later clarified his comment: "I meant to say cowboys. "I just got my cowboys and Indians mixed up."

Enjoy!

I had to read that a few times to make sense of it!

It wasn't supposed to correlate, but be a rather random therefore funny introduction. 'Serious serious serious, eh? Ahh...'

Don't worry Gilly, you're not the only one recently who has misunderstood my humour.

I've sent it off for a second opinion.

He is pure comedy - I met him on Friday, and he comes out with some ridiculous stuff.

"57. "That's a nice tie... Do you have any knickers in that material?" Discussing the tartan designed for the Papal visit with then-Scottish Tory leader Annabel Goldie last year."

Why can't men talk like this any more?

22. "I would like to go to Russia very much – although the ******** murdered half my family." In 1967, asked if he would like to visit the Soviet Union.

"Reichskanzler." Prince Philip used Hitler's title to address German chancellor Helmut Kohl during a speech in Hanover in 1997.

"I thought it was against the law these days for a woman to solicit." Said to a woman solicitor.

Genius

he is the only part of the royal family I don't mind hearing about.

Well, him and Harry. He just seems like 1 of the boys!

"Do you know they have eating dogs for the anorexic now?"

To a wheelchair-bound Susan Edwards, and her guide dog Natalie in 2002.

He very obviously just has a sense of humour, ok he's not the most PC about it and in some cases he may be out of touch/muddled up, but there's some gold amongst them. I know quite a few comics who could have delivered the line I've quoted!

"Aren't most of you descended from pirates?" In the Cayman Islands, 1994.

One of my favourites, having family out in the Cayman Islands

That being said, some of the things he has come out with in the past are particularly cringe-worthy. Kind of becomes ironic how he doles out the 'ignorance' moniker. :rolleyes:

He's an embarrassing muppet.

Phill the Greek always has been slightly detached from reality imo
