R.I.P. Prince Philip. Rule Britannia. We will miss your gaffes.
Yeah, they don't make them like that anymore. I had heard of some of the gaffes but hadn't looked into them until now. Oooo boy !
“If it has got four legs and it is not a chair, if it has got two wings and it flies but is not an aeroplane, and if it swims and it is not a submarine, the Cantonese will eat it” – at a 1986 World Wildlife Fund meeting.
“Aren’t most of you descended from pirates?” – to a wealthy islander in the Cayman Islands in 1994.
“You’re too fat to be an astronaut” – to 13-year-old Andrew Adams who told Philip in Salford in 2001 that he wanted to go into space.
“Do you still throw spears at each other?” – in Australia in 2002, talking to a successful Aboriginal entrepreneur.
“If it doesn’t fart or eat hay, she’s not interested” – on the Princess Royal.
“It’s a pleasant change to be in a country that isn’t ruled by its people” – to Paraguayan dictator Alfredo Stroessner.
