Default Prince Phillip - 'Who do you sponge off?'
Saw this on the BBC News last night but couldn't find it on the website so heres the dm article

Quote:
The Duke of Edinburgh is known for his embarrassing gaffes so it is no wonder he managed to insult a London community centre group during an official visit today.

Prince Philip asked a group of women 'who do you sponge off?' while visiting Chadwell Heath Community Centre in Dagenham, east London, to mark its official opening.

It comes less than a week after the 94-year-old royal was caught on camera shouting 'just take the ********** picture' during a photocall for the Battle of Britain anniversary.

God forbid Prince Philip should act like any other 94 year old. You ought to hear some of the things my Grandmother says, she leaves Prince Philip looking like an amateur.

He has always spoken his mind, now taking his age into account I guess he has no filters

whilst what he said was a little silly (srsly tho, he is 94) I do feel a little sorry for him. Not only for his age, but because the royal family are receiving a lot of hate atm. its not like he can help it

I'm an admirer. I thought most people on here like people who "speak their mind". Huge plus for a BB housemate but huge minus for the Duke of Edinburgh. Seems a little disingenuous..

Well there is a bit of a difference between a bb housemate and one of the heads of the royal family.

If you like someone to speak their mind surely it has to be the same rule for everyone. And let's face it, we've had years of Phil only opening his mouth to change feet. I stopped being outraged long ago and find it quite endearing now. When he said that a building looked like it had been "put up by Indians" we all knew he meant cowboys, the silly old sod.

Hasn't he been sponging off of his wife for nearly 70 years?

In all seriousness though, I despise the entire concept of "Royalty", and someone who was born privileged and married into further privilege talking about people "sponging", whether they're joking or not, is pretty foul. Whether you're 14, 94 or anywhere between. Age is not or should not be an excuse. Pretty sure we discussed this extensively over the last 2 days on another thread.

I've always thought Prince Philip funny when he makes his gaffes, just proves he's only human
