I hate this idea that he was of his time so his attitudes were okay. My grandparents were older than him, in some ways quite traditional, but thought some of the things he said were terrible. My grandmother in particular thought he was very rude to people, which he was. Some examples below of the kind of things he said. How anyone can say they admire Prince Philip is beyond me. He was an awful man.
"British women can't cook," he told the Scottish Womens' Institute in 1961. Incredibly rude aside from the misogyny.
"It looks like the kind of thing my daughter would bring back from her school art lessons," he muttered while being shown Ethiopian art in 1965.
"You are a woman, aren't you?" he said to a Kenyan woman, who was presenting him with a small gift in 1984.
"If you stay here much longer you will all be slitty-eyed," the Prince told British exchange students who lived in Xian in 1986. When asked about his opinion of Beijing, he replied: "Ghastly."
"I don't think a prostitute is more moral than a wife, but they are doing the same thing," when dismissing claims those who slaughter for meat have greater moral authority than those who partake in blood sports in 1988.
"You can't have been here that long -- you haven't got a pot belly," he told a British tourist during a visit to Budapest in 1993.
"How do you keep the natives off the booze long enough to pass the test?" he asked a Scottish driving instructor in 1995.
"You could do with losing a little bit of weight," he told 13-year-old Andrew Adams, after hearing he wanted to become an astronaut while visiting a science museum in 2001.
"So who's on drugs here?... He looks as if he's on drugs," he said of a 14-year-old boy while at a Bangladeshi youth club in 2002.
"That's a nice tie ... Do you have any knickers in that material?" he asked Annabel Goldie, the Scottish Conservative leader when welcoming Benedict XVI to Edinburgh in 2010.
"Is it a strip club?" he asked when meeting a female Sea Cadet who told the Prince she worked in a nightclub, in 2009.
