Prince Phillip was the real deal long before he married the queen and he continued to be right to the end.

Prince Philip - After Dunblane massacre, 1996: “If a cricketer suddenly decided to go into a school and batter a lot of people to death with a cricket bat, are you going to ban cricket bats?”
My kind of guy!

At a World Wildlife Fund meeting, 1986: “If it has got four legs and it is not a chair, if it has got two wings and it flies but is not an aeroplane, and if it swims and it is not a submarine, the Cantonese will eat it.”


Who'd a known what was coming. LOL

I met him, he gave me a beer. Either 90 or 91, was in the RCN and on a Stanaforlant mission. There was a beer call on HMS Campbelltown when docked in UK, so I went naturally. I didn't speak with him as he was busy handing out beers. The UK sailors said that they had alot of respect for him because of his support for the RN.
