I hope HRH doesn't take a leaf out of her father's book: -

Queen Elizabeth's husband, Prince Philip, recently got into trouble for
telling a young boy he was too fat to be an astronaut. Here then are a
few other choice quotes from Prince Philip...

Whilst on a tour of a factory in northern England, Prince Philip pointed out a fuse box that looked quite old. He said "it looks like it was made by an Indian!"

When talking to some british students in Oriental Asia (think it was China), he joked with them "you shouldn't stay here too long, or you'll turn slitty-eyed"

Said during a severe recession in 1981:
"Everybody was saying we must have more leisure. Now they're complaining they're unemployed."

On being introduced to the chairman of Britain's channel 4 television network:
"So YOU'RE responsible for the kind of crap channel 4 produces."

On Fergie, the Duchess of York:
"Her behavior was a bit odd. I don't see her because I do not see much point."

To a driving instructor he met during a stroll in Oban, Scotland:
"How do you keep the natives off the booze long enough to get them past the test?"

Comment when someone suggested in 1967 that a trip to Russia might improve diplomatic relations between Great Britain and the Soviets:
"The bastards murdered half my family."

Comments to the World Wildlife Fund, on Chinese eating habits:
"If it has four legs and it's not a chair, if it has two wings and it flies but it's not an airplane, and if it swims and it's not a submarine, the Cantonese will eat it."

To grieving residents of Lockerbie, Scotland, during a 1993 visit after a plane exploded and crashed into the town, killing everyone on board and several people on the ground (and shortly after a fire swept through ONE wing of Windsor Castle):
"People usually say that after a fire it's the water damage that's the worst. We're STILL trying to dry out Windsor castle."

On French Canadians during a visit to Toronto:
"I can't understand a word they say. They slur all their words."

To further insult Canadians during a royal visit:
"We don't come here for our health. We can think of other ways of enjoying ourselves."

"I don't think a prostitute is more moral than a wife, but they are doing the same thing."

"Do you still throw spears at each other?"
Prince Philip (on meeting Aborigines in Australia)

"You can't have been here that long, you haven't got a pot belly. "
(as told to a Briton in Hungary)

[Uschi]

Yep, he has a charming way, hasn't he?

Btw, Susi, you might move that thread to a more appropriate place?

[Susi]

done

[wilkie UK]

Ooops, did I do something wrong?

[Uschi]

Not in the slightest, it was me, by starting an off topic thread you just enhanced it

[FlyerPR]

she used to be against lady Diana right? dont know much about royalty.

[Uschi]

I haven't a clue. Princess Ann was long time the enfant terrible, being the first one to divorce. To be honest, the higher purpose of the Royalties eludes me completely. It still carries the nimbus of some people are better due to their birth than others. Richer are they anyway.

[FlyerPR]

i agree with you, this is a legacy of past times when blood and last names dictated the whole life of one person. thanks the stars it has changed a lot since those times, today the "royalty" is the big global companies...not a family with royal blood.

[wilkie UK]
