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.

Dude was a fukking racist and the media kept kee-keeing about it. :camby:

Those arent gaffes... those are deeply held beliefs expressed during clearly lucid, coherent conversation

I read all of that in Rodney Dangerfield's voice.

Taken from the article:

“He is someone who doesn’t take easily to compliments. But he has, quite simply, been my strength and stay all these years, and I, and his whole family, and this and many other countries, owe him a debt greater than he would ever claim, or we shall ever know.”

At the end of ones life, this is the best thing a woman could say about her husband.

“People still respond more easily to symbolism than to reason.”

Very true.

His love of the outdoors and physical pursuit was nurtured in childhood at Gordonstoun, the Morayshire school founded by Kurt Hahn, which encouraged self-reliance in pupils. Hahn had a profound influence on the young prince, who rarely saw his parents as a child.

My gf and I have been watching the Crown and Phillip took a lot of flack on how he wanted to raise Charles, wanting him to be more masculine, and wanting to send him to his alma mater Gordonstoun which would teach him how to be a man and self-sufficient. I appreciated that which is how all men should be when raising their sons.

RIP to that man.

Anybody else wanna fukk Queen Elizabeth

On the tv show The Crown, all eyes were actually on Jackie and the Queen's biographers admitted that she was insecure around her because she was educated, worldly, spoke different languages, and beautiful, things the Queen was not. Phillip was even fawning over her which made things worse. :mjlol:

Don't get me wrong, that whole family is racist as shyt and has rivers of blood on its hand. It was just rare that someone was so IDGAF about stating the family feelings like that.

Wish we could go back to a time when political correctness did not exist. I can appreciate this because you could never know ones true feelings now.
