Because of Charles being such a turd and all that. Here's one of the most offensive men in the British royal family speaking his mind:
"If you stay here much longer you'll all be slitty-eyed.''
- addressing British students during a 1986 visit to China
"How do you keep the natives off the booze long enough to pass the
test?''
- question posed to a Scottish driving instructor in 1995
"Everybody was saying we must have more leisure. Now they are
complaining they are unemployed.''
- comment made during a particularly bad recession in Britain in 1981
Do you still throw spears at each other?
- (on meeting Aborigines in Australia)
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.
- (as spoken at a 1986 World Wildlife Fund meeting)
You can't have been here that long, you haven't got a pot belly.
- (as told to a Briton in Hungary)
"Where did you get that hat?" (1953)
To his wife the Queen, immediately after her coronation
"British women can't cook." (1966)
"What do you gargle with - pebbles?" (1969)
Notes: Said to Tom Jones after the The Royal Variety Performance.
"You managed not to get eaten, then?" (1998)
Notes: Said to a student who had been trekking in Papua New Guinea.
"You were playing your instruments, weren't you? Or do you have tape recorders under your seats?" (2002)
Notes: Said to a childrens band in Australia.
"Do you know they have eating dogs for the anorexic now?" (2002)
Notes: Said to a blind woman with a guide dog.
"It is surprising the way things have changed since I first became chancellor of a university 50 years ago." (2003)
Source: Opening a new reseach centre at the University of York.
Notes: The statement was widely misrepresented as referring to the University of York itself, rather than the University of Edinburgh, of which Prince Philip is Chancellor. (The York Chancellor at the time was Janet Baker, and the university was celebrating its fortieth anniversary.)
"It looks like it was put in by Indians." (1999)
Notes: Said after he saw a fusebox.
"Aren't most of you descended from pirates?" (1994)
Notes: Said to an islander in the Cayman Islands.
"Your country is one of the most notorious centres of trading in endangered species in the world." (1991)
Notes: Said in Thailand, after accepting a conservation award.
"Deaf? If you are near there, no wonder you are deaf." (1999)
Notes: Said to young deaf people in Cardiff, referring to a school's steel band. .
"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?" (1996)
Notes: Said amid calls to ban firearms after the Dunblane shooting.
"Bloody silly fool!" (1997)
Notes: Was referring to a Cambridge University car park attendant who failed to recognise him.
"You are a woman, aren't you?" (1984)
Notes: Said in Kenya, to a native woman who had presented him with a small gift.
"You look like you're ready for bed!"
Said to the President of Nigeria, who was dressed in traditional robes...
"It doesn't look like much work goes on at this University" (2005)
Notes: Overheard at Bristol University's BLADE (Bristol Laboratory for Advanced Dynamic Engineering) facility, which had been closed in order that he and the Queen could officially open it
To grieving residents of Lockerbie, Scotland, during a 1993 visit after a plane exploded and crashed into the town, killing everyone on board and several people on the ground (and shortly after a fire swept through ONE wing of Windsor Castle):
"People usually say that after a fire it's the water damage that's the worst. We're STILL trying to dry out Windsor castle."
Comment when someone suggested in 1967 that a trip to Russia might improve diplomatic relations between Great Britain and the Soviets:
"The bastards murdered half my family."
On being introduced to the chairman of Britain's channel 4 television network
"So YOU'RE responsible for the kind of crap channel 4 produces."
"I don't think a prostitute is more moral than a wife, but they are doing the same thing."
When a man opens a car door for his wife, it's either a new car or a new wife.
Prince Philip
