Oh Prince Philip ⦠For decades and decades during his career as a working royal, the Greek-born Prince who married a future Queen managed to regularly hit the headlines for putting his (bespoke shod) foot firmly in his mouth.
With the sort of regularity that must have perturbed even his long-suffering wife, the Duke of Edinburgh's blazing lack of tact was an enduring feature of his life as a working royal.
While his love for Queen Elizabeth has never been called into question, his apparent ambivalence toward public life (and the great unwashed masses) was reflected in decades of decidedly un-PC quips, witticisms and asides, often uttered during official events and tours.
