This was really entertaining to read. I love that he is just being himself, and doesn't really care what others have to say.
Prince Philip is a legend; I'm so glad he didn't allow PC to change him and just speaks his mind.
And let's face it - he isn't wrong about that dress, is he?
I'm in agreement here . Sometimes calling a spade a spade is acceptable (and in this case, it could have been used as an icebreaker, rather than as something to get offended about).
I loved the one recently- he was talking to a disabled person in an electric wheelchair, and said " How many people have you run over today?"
I get that one all the time myself- great icebreaker!
I loved that particular story. A great way to make someone feel at ease in a nerve-wrecking situation.
I think I speak for most Brits when I say we'd be pretty disappointed if Philip didn't make the odd slightly inappropriate joke from time to time. It's something we'll miss about him when he's gone.
I'm not a Brit, but I do share your sentiment.
