A VIP at a local airport asked HRH: “What was your flight, like, Your Royal Highness? Philip: “Have you ever flown in a plane?†VIP: “Oh yes, sir, many times.†“Well,†said Philip, “it was just like that.â€
Say what? 
Posted it from my iphone and it appeared fine on Safari, copied and pasted from The Mirror.
He's led a full life and by all accounts could have gone far in the RN on his own merits. Long live the old boy and I don't believe they are 'gaffes', just social commentary by someone who has seen most of the world and seen it change over a very long period of time - is there anyone on the planet as well travelled as him and Liz?

Same here - he must do it on purpose - or not care. I don't know how he holds his tongue sometimes; personally most of the time I'd be bored to death and just get pissed.He's England's greatest living comedian.
He also doesn't officially exist.
Or something like that.
Constitutionally there was never any concept of a bloke married to the queen who wasn't king; so they have just had to make everything up in terms if his position.
I like the fact they married for Love rather than political reasons.
He also doesn't officially exist.

He's a WW2 vet. For that alone, he gets my respect.DonnyMac said:

So he was a prince and a prince consort.
But Phil was just Mr Phil, not Prince Phil.
But I might be mistaken.
