'...the science of opening your mouth and putting your foot in it, a science which I have practised for a good many years...’ - as Prince Phillip once described himself.
As he's turning 90, The Daily Mail has put together a list of his best (or perhaps worst) politically incorrect comments. Brilliant.
My favourites:
- ‘You look like you’re ready for bed!’ To the President of Nigeria, who was wearing traditional robes.
- ‘If you stay here much longer, you will go home with slitty eyes.’ To a British student on a visit to China in 1986.
- ‘There’s a lot of your family in tonight.’ After noticing business leader Atul Patel’s name badge during a Buckingham Palace reception for 400 influential British Indians in 2009.
