A collection of the greatest foot-in-mouth moments from our ambassador for poor taste and cultural misunderstanding, the Duke of Edinburgh
Britain´s very own embarrassing (royal) granddad turned 90 this year and this shamefully funny collection of the Duke´s greatest gaffes celebrates the best from a lifetime of quotes that made the nation groan and then laugh with embarrassment.
With illustrations throughout, this is a laugh-out-loud funny tribute to the master of mis-speaking:
When accepting a figurine from a woman during a visit to Kenya he said: ´You are a woman aren´t you?´
He asked a Scottish driving instructor how he ´kept the natives off the booze´ long enough to get a licence.
In Cardiff he told children from the British Deaf Association, who were stood by a Caribbean steel band: ´If you´re near that music it´s no wonder you´re deaf´.
´Still throwing spears?´ - a question to an Aborigine during a visit to Australia.
