âHe then turned to Brookes who bowed low and said: âPeter Brookes, sir, the Times,â at which point Phil the Greek exploded ⦠âThe Times? Bloody Murdoch rag! Wouldnât have it in the house! Dreadful self-righteous rubbish!â
âAt which point I interjected to say that the Guardian was the self-righteous one, to which he replied: âNot as bad as the bloody Times!â and stalked off. Needless to say, he went up considerably in my estimation at this point and his comments are worth bearing in mind as all those News International â as was â papers drool over his memory.

Prince Philip, husband of Queen Elizabeth, dies at 99
A tweet from the official royal family account confirmed that the prince passed away peacefully at Windsor Castle, after having been treated for a preexisting heart condition earlier this year. He was released from the hospital on March 16.
Prince Philip was often described as having old-fashioned charm, but he was equally renowned for his outdated, politically incorrect sense of humor, one that made him somewhat prone to gaffes. He was a throwback to another era, one that valued the stiff upper lip, and no doubt took it in stride when his mother-in-law, the Queen Mother, referred to him as The Hun and not always in jest.
Itinerant childhood
Prince Philip s early years were marked by tragedy. When he was still young his mother was diagnosed with schizophrenia and placed in an asylum. Philip would rarely see her until adulthood. He was sent to boarding schools in France and Germany, but the rise of the Nazis forced him to continue his education in Scotland. Here, Philip (second from left) is seen at a French school in about 1929.
Looking back on the life of Prince Philip
Prince of Greece and Denmark
Philip held royal titles since his birth on June 10, 1921, in Corfu. As the only son of Prince Andrew of Greece and Princess Alice of Battenberg, he was born the prince of Greece and Denmark titles he would relinquish upon marrying Princess Elizabeth in 1947. After fleeing unrest in Greece at just 18 months, Philip went on to become a naturalized British citizen.
