"All money nowadays seems to be produced with a natural homing instinct for the Treasury."
That's not a gaffe, it's an explanation.
A somewhat sensible, if not tongue in cheek one at that.

Gaffes to thee, non-PC plain speaking to me.

Somebody doesn’t understand what a gaffe is. He meant to say those things, exactly as he said them.
To: Dallas59
Those aren’t gaffe’s. They are evidence of a terrific understated sense of humor, the legendary British dry wit

Prince Phillip served with distinction in WW II in the navy, whose officers have a reputation for plain speaking.

Prince Phillip was always a card, and now that he’s gone dotty, he’s really over the top when he gets away from his minders and speaks in public.

On the Royal Family's finances: "We go into the red next year. I shall probably have to give up polo." That about sums up the problem on planet Earth.

Must be a slow news day. They usually only write this article if he's said something un-PC, and it doesn't appear that he did recently. I have to say that some of these "gaffes" really don't sound that bad:
Following the Dunblane massacre, he questioned the need for a firearms ban: "If a cricketer, for instance, suddenly decided to go into a school and batter a lot of people to death with a cricket bat, which he could do very easily, I mean, are you going to ban cricket bats?"

Agree with the others - these aren’t gaffes. They’re also fall-down funny. He denies he said the one to the deaf kids, though.

Well, he did once call Helmut Kohl "Reichskanzler"...

He said his happiest time was in World War II, serving on warships in the Royal Navy. He seems like a guy who would thrive in that environment.
