Magnificent. I love the imagine of a rogue Prince Philip sailing the seas in command of a stolen Australian warship. That could be the answer to the Somali piracy problem though....
A few more Duke of Edinburgh quotes:
“I’d like to visit Russia very much - although the bastards murdered half my family.”
“Oh, it’s you that owns that ghastly car - we often see it when driving to Windsor Castle.” (to Sir Elton John, referring to the singer’s gold aston martin)
“If you see a man opening a car door for a woman, it means one of two things: it’s either a new woman or a new car!”
“You have mosquitos. I have the press.” (to a matron at a caribbean hospital)
“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?”
There are so many.....
The Duke is currently at ‘Trooping the Colour’ which, as usual, is a splendid sight.
Trooping the Colour is always a great spectacle. I never knew the drum horses were the only animals to hold commissions in the army.
