Prince Philip was the youngest of five siblings and had four older sisters, three of the four sisters married German aristocrats who became Nazis

Owing to his age, and status as the only son, Philip grew up apart from his sisters, three of whom - Margarita, Cecilie and Sophie - married German aristocrats who became members of the Nazi party.

Indeed his youngest sister Sophie and her husband Prince Christoph of Hesse were so well regarded they joined Hitler for private lunches and even named their first son in his honour.

When Prince Philip's third sister Princess Cecile, then eight months pregnant with her fourth child, was killed in a plane crash in 1937 alongside her family, relatives donned distinctive Nazi uniforms for the funeral.

Philip broke a 60-year public silence about his family’s Nazi ties in 2006, saying that, like many Germans, they found Hitler’s early attempts to restore Germany’s power and prestige 'attractive' but stressed he was never 'conscious of anybody in the family actually expressing anti-Semitic views'.

Imagine any black person caping for this racist family that has wrecked havoc on black people world wide for centuries .. :mjlol:

And still continues to practice White Supremacy to this day. (Case in point, Meghan Markle's interview with Oprah. They were wondering if the prospective octaroon baby will be "too black"). :scust:

I feel bad the gaffes are the only things I know this dude for.

25 things Prince Philip said that will make you full-body cringe
Includgin:

"It looks like the kind of thing my daughter would bring back from her school art lessons," he muttered while being shown Ethiopian art in 1965.

"We don’t come here for our health. We can think of other ways of enjoying ourselves," he told journalists in Canada in 1976.

"You are a woman, aren't you?" he said to a Kenyan woman, who was presenting him with a small gift in 1984.

"If you stay here much longer you will all be slitty-eyed," the Prince told British exchange students who lived in Xian in 1986. When asked on his opinion of Beijing, he replied: "Ghastly."

"If it has four legs and it is not a chair, if it has two wings and flies but is not an aeroplane, and if it swims and it is not a submarine, the Cantonese will eat it." Again with the Chinese insults, when he addressed a World Wildlife Fund meeting in 1986.

"I don't think a prostitute is more moral than a wife, but they are doing the same thing," when dismissing claims those who slaughter for meat have greater moral authority than those who partake in blood sports in 1988.

"How do you keep the natives off the booze long enough to pass the test?" he asked a Scottish driving instructor in 1995.

"You managed not to get eaten then?" the Prince asked a British student who had been trekking in Papua New Guinea, in 1998.

A former scrap dealer who was friends with Prince Philip for 40 years has told how the duke would always treat him as an equal.

George Bowman was a rival of Philip when they competed in the Lowther Carriage Driving Trials in Cumbria.

The unlikely pair became friends during Philip's annual visits and would drink and chat over a barbecue, the 84-year-old said.

He told ITV News: 'He was a man I respected. I came from humble beginnings, I was a scrap dealer, and through the horses I climbed my way up the ladder.

'He always treated me with great respect and treated me as equal. And that's what I admired about him.'

Wiping away tears, Mr Bowman added: 'I cry even talking about it. He was a great man.'

The Duke of Edinburgh visited Lowther Castle almost every year between 1973 and 2008 for the three-day carriage driving event.

A pioneer of the sport, he represented Great Britain in three European Championships and six World Championships.
