YANBU best person in the Royal family followed closely by his daughter--a chip off the old bloke. I think they are hillarious

Isn't he quite bigoted in his views?

he's interesting. I guess some of his comments may be put down to his age and the fact that old people seem to have the ability to put their foot spectacularly "in it"!

He is bigoted and opinionated and not very PC but there's an honesty or something about him. I quite like him, despite myself.

YABU. They are all in-bred, dim, unpleasant parasites.

Love him! Very clever and very witty and gloriously un-PC. Fabulous man!


As for you frilly - you sound like there's something badly amiss in your gene pool

yy, I often think to myself, 'that Prince Phillip with his casual racism and bigoted views, what a great guy!'

AA Gill thinks he is 'deeply unpleasant' - he must be vile Grin

I think we will miss him when he's gone. I'm a fan.

Yes he's exactly like Marmite. If Marmite had the run of the free press, was married to the Head of State and was a racist bigot.

I think he is great, very witty and I'm sure he comes out with all those comments just because he knows people will talk about it and just because he can get away with it. Good on him Wink

He's a national calamity near a microphone and I think he's excellent! He's a product of his upbringing and background, and as we all know, that must be taken into consideration and WE MUST NOT JUDGE!

Wow. So it's ok to be a bigot if you can get away with it.

I think he's fab. An amazingly disciplined, loyal funny man. Love the story about the queen's coronation when he leant over & sang 'Where did you get that hat to her' just after she was crowned Grin
Also be wary of the racist / bigot/ nazi comments. His mother was proclaimed a righteous gentile & is commemorated at Yad Vashem, he had a very long war fighting nazis & fascists. Just because he's posh doesn't mean he's a wrong 'un.

He's a national embarrassment.
