Christmas Tree 4444 Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Huw Borland, Sky News Online The Duke of Edinburgh asked a sea cadet if she worked at a strip club, according to reports. Prince Philip had joined the Queen on a visit to Wyvern Barracks in Exeter on Thursday when he asked Elizabeth Rendle what she did for a living. The 24-year-old, a member of the Barnstaple Sea Cadets, told him she worked in a nightclub. Philip, 88, then asked if it was a strip club, before joking that it was "probably too cold for that anyway", she told The Sun. Miss Rendle added: "We were all laughing and I didn't take any offence. I think he was just putting people at their ease." The incident was the latest in a long line of Royal gaffes by the Duke. He once told Paraguayan dictator General Stroessner: "It's a pleasure to be in a country that isn't ruled by its people." He also dashed a 13-year-old boy's ambitions when he told him: "You're too fat to be an astronaut." And he once told a group from the British Deaf Association who were standing near a band: "Deaf? If you're near there, no wonder you are deaf." In 2002, Philip asked an indigenous Australian: "Do you still throw spears at each other?" The same year he asked a driving instructor in Scotland: "How do you keep the natives off the booze long enough to get them through the test?" Back in 1986, he commented to a group of British students in China: "If you stay here much longer, you'll all be slitty-eyed." The Royal visit to Exeter was part of celebrations to mark 150 years of the Sea Cadets movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4256 Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 I think he's a parasite of the highest order but there's nothing wrong with the latest "gaffe" imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 20429 Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 I think he's a parasite of the highest order but there's nothing wrong with the latest "gaffe" imo. I agree, but there are some pearlers in there. Aye, but personally I found only a couple a bit offensive, depending on how serious he was being. I prefer him to his jug-eared cunt of a son in any case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer him to his jug-eared cunt of a son in any case. If he genuninely thought he was having a laugh with someone - as the latest one suggests - then I'd say they were all excusable (just about). Of course I guess theres an argument as to whether someone in his position should share a joke with people but I'd echo your comment about the idiot in waiting.

Guest alex Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Compared to what most people say (often taking the piss anyway) and what a lot of people think (often being serious) I don't think he's offensive at all really. I also quite like the way he clearly couldn't give a fuck what people think. I hate what him and Royals represent but that's a different thing.

JawD 99 Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 I couldnt give a shite about the Royals one way or another, but the stuff he says occassionally is fuck all to what we all hear every day taking the piss. I find it pretty funny mostly, as above, mainly because I like how he doesnt give a fuck. As someone who (mostly) opposses OTT political correctness, I always have a wry smile when I read the latest stuff he's said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
