EastEnders and the MasterChef final were replaced by news programmes and i got so much grief off Mrs X that you would think it was me who was in charge of the TV channels.
I am not a big fan of the Royals, especially after Harry being such a nodding donkey in the interview with that Opera woman but Phillip told it as it was and wasn’t up his own bum. I was reading some of his gaffs on the internet and wanted to share some of these so we can remember a human being who wasn’t scared of not being PC.
1986: “If you stay here much longer you’ll all be slitty-eyed.” To a group of British students during a royal visit to China.
1995: “How do you keep the natives off the booze long enough to pass the test.” To a Scottish driving instructor.
2001: “You’re too fat to be an astronaut.” To 13-year-old Andrew Adams who told Prince Philip he wanted to go into space.
2002: “Still throwing spears?” Question put to an Australian Aborigine during a visit
2010: “Do you work in a strip club?” To 24-year-old Barnstaple Sea Cadet Elizabeth Rendle when she told him she also worked in a nightclub.
2012: “I would get arrested if I unzipped that dress.” To 25-year-old council worker Hannah Jackson, who was wearing a dress with a zip running the length of its front, on a Jubilee visit to Bromley, Kent.
RIP Duke, you were one of a kind.
Apologies if this offends anyone and please feel free to take it off Rob.
