Jonathan Fairfield Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Prince Philip lets fly with F-word during Battle of Britain event LONDON:-- The Duke of Edinburgh, an old Naval hand, appeared to revert to some salty language during an overlong photocall at events to mark the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain. Losing patience as a photographer dithered, the famously straight-talking Prince Philip, 94, seemingly commanded: “Just take the <deleted> picture!” His exasperation erupted during a photocall at the RAF Club, which Philip attended with the Duke of Cambridge and the Earl and Countess of Wessex.

Baerboxer Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Love Phil the Greek... He says what others wish they could say! Maybe fueled by some domestic differences between Phil the Greek and Liz the German (Saxe-Coburg and Gotha). The British Queen is half-Scottish. Her mum was Sottish. Prince Philip - A member of the House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg, Philip was born in Greece into the Greek and Danish royal families, but his family was exiled from Greece when he was an infant. He renounced his Greek and Danish titles when becoming a British citizen and marrying the then Princess Elizabeth. Not quite right, but you rarely are.

Beetlejuice Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I think Prince Philip is the greatest. He was never one to be discrete with his thoughts and words and because he don`t give a rat`s behind what anyone thinks, he`s always got away with it as no one dare answer him back, the man commands respect. Wonderful, 94 years old and still doing the rounds. Don`t care about his ancestry, for me he is the front person for what being British is all about. I love our British Royal family as much as the Thais love their monarch and can`t help feeling patriotic every time I see them. The Duke of Edinburgh is someone that has to be admired, long may the Queen and the Prince reign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bra Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Good on him! The ceremony was to commemorate the Battle of Britain and I bet the RAF pilots said worse with aME 109 on their tail. I am reminded of the response by EG Whitlam a former Australian Prime Minister to a very direct remark made by Prince Philip about him. Whitlam, asked for his opinion of the Prince, and who could be equally frank thought for a while then responded "Prince Philip? hmmm... he married well" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither him nor any other member of his family with all the medals on their chests fought in any wars. A very lame and transparent troll. Prince Philip himself was in the Royal Navy in WW2 and fought in the Battle of Crete and the invasion of Sicily. In fact, virtually every male member of this British royal family, from Prince Andrew (Falklands War) and Prince Harry (Afghanistan) back to George VI (World War 1) , has been in the forces in an active capacity.

peterb17 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Oh No. HRH actually said what he was thinking, I realise he has probably never seen a washing machine and does not realise that you actually put bread into a toaster- before it arrives on a fabulous Georgian silver tray - a pampered life. But he does put two fingers up to the PC brigade. Can you imagine living your entire life with photographers / press watching every move- no wonder he got a bit cross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Queen Elizabeth (then Princess) was in the RTS like many other British females her age. There are others as well. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_service_by_the_members_of_the_British_Royal_Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he makes a gaff, some will be humored, some will be insulted, but no one is hurt. When Prayuth makes a gaff a nation gets to suffer. There is a difference. A big difference. Phillip is a character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were they in among the bombs and bullets? If they were and I'm wrong, then I stand to be corrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
