The Duke of Edinburgh, was known for his controversial sense of humor and often made remarks during royal engagements that landed him in hot water.

These have included telling the President of Nigeria that he looked like he was "ready for bed" when he wore national dress to meet Prince Phillip in 2003, and comparing Ethiopian art to "the kind of thing my daughter would bring back from school art lessons" back in 1965.

During a visit to China in 1986, he also told a British student that if he stayed much longer, "you'll go home with slitty eyes."

Most of these comments have come and gone without acknowledgment from the palace. However, The Independent reports that the duke issued a public apology after a visit to an electronics factory in Scotland in 1999, where he said a messy fuse box looked "as though it was put in by an Indian."
