Legend.

Fail to see why any of these are "gaffes". More like taking the pi55 and the PC journos just can't laugh in case they get sacked. He should be knighted. Oh, wait ..... :Suspiciou

hahaha

That's not a gaffe, it's telling it like it is. Being kind if anything.

Prince Philip is one of the few royals I like, as he says it as he see it.

Absolute Legend

Classic! :lol:

Quite a lot of the comments are actually true, just un-PC, and most of the others are clearly jokes - and actually very funny in many cases! He must put a lot of people at ease with a funny comment, but I can imagine a few of the comments do cause offence!

Yeah most are true

Superb

best job in the world

10. "People usually say that after a fire it is water damage that is the worst. We are still drying out Windsor Castle." To survivors of the Lockerbie bombings in 1993.

Did I miss something, it was a plane brought down by a bomb and it was 1988

Other than this error some absolute quality stuff in there

I particularly like this one:

"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."

:lol1::notworthy:lol1:

He says it as he sees it. I have a lot of time for him.

The so called gaffes are purely the tabloids trying to sell papers as usual by making a fuss over nothing.

The "ledge" is on BBC1 HD and the standard BBC1 plebs channel right now :thumb:

He's superb. The only natural Royal. His mouth overules his common sense. Love him. And he looks fantastic for 90 :eek:

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

Cause the instuctors like a good drink like the rest of us :)

I heard a good DofE quote on the radio a couple days ago. He was meeting a newly elected Labour MP with republican tendencies and asked the MP what he had done before being elected.
MP - "I was an official for xxxxx Trade Union."
DofE - "So you've never had a proper job then?"
MP (indignantly) - "So what did you do before you got your job?"
DofE - "I fought in the Second World War."

Fiona Bruce to HRH PP "do you consider yourself green?"

HRH PP "Well I think one's self to be conservationist rather than a bunny hugger"....classic!!:cool::notworthy

absolute legend and clearly he had no time for Fiona Bruce !!!!

my brother in laws mother actually served with him on the same ship in WW2. they fondly nicknamed him POG - phillip of greece !

Some excellent quotes there :D

Don't blame him; She did ask some really stupid questions and clearly didn't do her research either.



The invterview with Phil and Sir Trevor Mc Doughnut was far more insightful (And the look on Trevor's face when in the passenger seat of his Range Rover being driven at speed through the country manner by Phil was priceless - he was clearly crapping himself but trying to keep composure :lol1: )

Got a lot of time for him. Very impressed with his support for the Queen as well.

I think he knows how to use his position to get away with it at times, but as said above, he says it as he sees it.
