As royals go Philip is by far the most interesting of the bunch, William dressing as a Nazi not withstanding. Philip is what I like to lovingly call the Ricky "I'm too much speed in my mouth" Henderson of the royal family. There really doesn't seem to be a filter between what he thinks and what he says from time to time.
Part of me thinks that there is no way that he wasn't aware of some of the things he has said! A top 15 list can be found here but some of my personal faves are among those top 15 such as:
1. "If you stay here much longer, you’ll all be slitty-eyed"-- 1985 China State Visit (heard this one via Eddie Izzard and had to Google to see if it was a true quote or a bit...so again I have to thank Eddie for opening me up to another funny Brit!!)
2. To an Aborigine in Australia “Do you still throw spears at each other?”
3. To a Briton in Budapest "You can’t have been here that long – you haven’t got a pot belly.”
4. To a driving instructor in Scotland, “How do you keep the natives off the booze long enough to get them through the test?”
5. 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!”

I wish that us poor relations in America could have have half the awesomeness that is the Royal Family from time to time. What do we have in their place? Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears (pre and during breakdown) and anyone who participates in any thing that begins with the word "Celebrity" be it rehab, apprentice, Jeopardy (OK...Jeopardy gets a pass.)
Just saying the dude is a goldmine. Someone get him an iPhone and a twitter account! Given the right push he could crush Ashton Kutcher.
