The Best of Price Philip

[Dean]

Price Philip has long been one of my favourite members of the Royal Family. He has become pretty well known for his strange, yet hilarious, comments. I came across this article with the "Top 15 Quotes of Prince Philip" and thought I might as well share them with you all. Hopefully they will amuse you in the same way that they amuse me.

1. China State Visit, 1986

"If you stay here much longer, you'll all be slitty-eyed."

2. To a blind women with a guide

"Do you know they have eating dogs for the anorexic now?"

3. To an Aborigine in Australia

"Do you still throw spears at each other?"

4. To his wife, the Queen, after her coronation

"Where did you get the hat?"

5. When asked if he would like to visit the Soviet Union

"The bastards murdered half my family"

6. To a Briton in Budapest

"You can't have been here that long - you haven't got a pot belly."

7. To a driving instructor in Scotland

"How do you keep the natives off the booze long enough to get them through the test?"

8. After the Dunblane shooting

"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?"

9. To a student who had been trekking in Papua New Guinea

"You managed not to get eaten, then?"

10. To Elton John after hearing Elton had sold his Gold Aston Martin

"Oh, it's you that owns that ghastly car - we often see it when driving to Windsor Castle."

11. On the London Traffic Debate

"The problem with London is the tourists. They cause the congestion. If we could just stop tourism, we could stop the congestion."

12. To the President of Nigeria, dressed in traditional robes

"You look like you're ready for bed!"

13. Unknown

"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!"

14. On key problems facing Brazil

"Brazilians live there"

15. To the matron of a hospital in the Caribbean

"You have mosquitos. I have the Press"

To those from over seas, who are perhaps not as familiar with Prince Philip, what impression do these quotes give you of him? Keep in mind, this is the Queen's husband.

Does anyone else have some classic Prince Philip quotes they're willing to share with us?

Apologies on this being the second thread of the day by me related to the Royal Family. The image Gagsy posted in my previous thread reminded me of Prince Philip, which resulted in me finding the article linked above. It was just too funny not to share.

How can you even say such a thing? The man is a comedy genius.

[PeterM]

he has long been the most entertaining member of the Royal Family.

He's such an epic fuck-up that it becomes hilarious.

[Jackdabomb]

He sounds like someone who is accidentally hilarious.

He's much, much better. He's much smarter and much richer, so he comes out with the best lines.

If you get a kick out of those quotes, you might like some of Winston Churchill's. I think this is my favourite:

Bessie Braddock: "Winston, you are drunk, and what's more, you are disgustingly drunk."

Churchill: "Bessie, my dear, you are ugly, and what's more, you are disgustingly ugly. But tomorrow I shall be sober and you will still be disgustingly ugly."

Yeah... Number seven made my laugh. And the answer to that is simple: We don't stop drinking. We just hold our whiskey a little bit better. =P

I've heard that before but admittedly I don't know many Churchill quotes. I think the charm of Prince Philip's quotes is that he honestly has no idea that he's being somewhat offensive to people in his attempts to be funny. However if he is saying these things intentionally, he just might become my new hero.
