I've always liked Prince Phillip.

[redgolum]

That man is now my hero.

[Swede Girl]

LOVE HIM!

[gundog]

Not a gaffe in the lot.

Where are the gaffes?

Most of this sounds completely accurate. Oh I get it, not being PC is considered a gaffe.

Not with me.

"When a man opens the car door for his wife, it’s either a new car or a new wife."

chuckling here...

[cripplecreek]

Sounds like an OK guy to me.

I remember he publicly spoke out against the British Gun Control laws.

The British press attacked him for it but it made me like him.

I have also heard he served in a really tough outfit in the British military.

[MAexile]

Obviously, the man lacks a filter.
Not sure that makes him gaffe prone...

Prince Philip has the droll sense of humor that is classically British. Occasionally quite witty, if you understand the context. At age 90, Philip comes from another era, long before Political Correctness ruined many forms of communication, including an appreciation of droll humor. Sure, Philip made a few gaffes and probably insulted a few folks along the way but he very likely didn’t mean to do so. Besides, let’s face it, the man is and always has been mostly irrelevant to Americans and only only slightly more relevant to the British. He’s a rich aristocrat and lives, well, like royalty but frankly, few Americans care much whether Philip says something droll or silly. Did I mention that Prince Philip is irrelevant?

‘When a man opens the car door for his wife, it’s either a new car or a new wife.’

I don't care who you are, now that's funny.

“‘When a man opens the car door for his wife, it’s either a new car or a new wife.’ “

How is this a gaffe? This is hilarious! (and true!)

[Slings and Arrows]

Can you imagine what he said to Zer0?

[RockinRight]

“Gaffes?” I think he full on knows exactly what he’s saying.

[Huskrrrr]

When asked about Prince Charles: “There’s no way that twit came from my loins!”

[Cheburashka]

‘I would like to go to Russia very much — although the bastards murdered half my family.’ In 1967, when asked if he would like to visit the Soviet Union.

---

Hardly a gaffe. Lenin and the other bastards did murder his relatives.

How closely was he related to Tzar Nicky's family? Close enough that when the Russians finally dug up the bodies a sample of Prince Philip's DNA was used to verify their identity.

[Ransomed]

That is just awesome.

Very funny. Thanks!

This man and I must be related somehow.
