Prince Philip

born Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark, 1921: Duke of Edinburgh, Prince of the United Kingdom, Lord High Admiral... He may have several titles and be of noble background and married to the ever-popular Queen Elizabeth II, but Prince Philip has a reputation for uttering controversial remarks - gaffes, jokes, humorous comments (misconstrued or otherwise), offensive jibes, call them what you will - dream material for the Press to report in whichever way they choose.

Here is a compilation of 101 quotes reflecting Prince Philip's frankness and sense of humour over the years; character traits that are, perhaps, usually kept more in check by people moving in such highly distinguished circles. But where would be the fun in that? Enjoy!
