Prince Philip has his royal foot in his pedestrian mouth again

British royal quips PH 'must be half empty'

By Kim Arveen Patria | Yahoo! Southeast Asia Newsroom – Thu, Feb 21, 2013



The high number of Filipinos employed as health workers abroad had United Kingdom's Duke of Edinburgh wondering if the country was "half empty."

"The Philippines must be half empty--you're all here running the NHS (National Health Service)," the UK-based news site BBC quoted Prince Philip as saying.

The 91-year-old husband of Queen Elizabeth was addressing a Pinay nurse he met during a visit to Luton and Dunstable Hospital where he unveiled a new cardiac center.

The Duke of Edinburgh has made another racist gaffe, this time during a hospital visit in the UK.

But it wasn't the only joke the prince used at the hospital, whose administrators he urged to get a helipad to save him a journey by land.

The hospital's spokesperson, meanwhile, had been quoted as saying that the royal visit had been "hugely motivational."

The spokesperson refused to comment on the "private conversation," however. So did the Buckingham Palace.

other noteworthy racist remarks (or plain insensitive statements) by the prince of gaffes:

If it has 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. Said to a World Wildlife Fund meeting in 1986.

Your country is one of the most notorious centres of trading in endangered species. Accepting a conservation award in Thailand in 1991.

Aren't most of you descended from pirates? In the Cayman Islands, 1994.

It looks as though it was put in by an Indian. The Prince's verdict of a fuse box during a tour of a Scottish factory in August 1999. He later clarified his comment: "I meant to say cowboys. I just got my cowboys and Indians mixed up."

Ghastly. Prince Philip's opinion of Beijing, during a 1986 tour of China.

If you stay here much longer, you will go home with slitty eyes. To 21-year-old British student Simon Kerby during a visit to China in 1986.

You managed not to get eaten then? To a British student who had trekked in Papua New Guinea, during an official visit in 1998.

You can't have been here that long – you haven't got a pot belly. To a British tourist during a tour of Budapest in Hungary. 1993.

Do you still throw spears at each other? Prince Philip shocks Aboriginal leader William Brin at the Aboriginal Cultural Park in Queensland, 2002.


A sticky tropical afternoon in northern Queensland, and a group of distinguished Aboriginal community leaders, educated men all, are lined up to meet the Duke of Edinburgh. “Ah!” he says breezily. “Do you people still throw spears at each other?” They all laugh easily as they grasp the outstretched royal hand. Yards away, British tabloid reporters reach for their mobiles, punch in the numbers of their London puppet masters and yell “Gaffe alert!” (Alan Hamilton, June 4 2011, http://www.thetimes.co.uk/)

Reichskanzler. Prince Philip used Hitler's title to address German chancellor Helmut Kohl during a speech in Hanover in 1997.

I would like to go to Russia very much – although the bastards murdered half my family. In 1967, asked if he would like to visit the Soviet Union.

People think there's a rigid class system here, but dukes have even been known to marry chorus girls. Some have even married Americans. In 2000.

on british pop singers:

What do you gargle with – pebbles? To Tom Jones, after the Royal Variety Performance, 1969. He added the following day: "It is very difficult at all to see how it is possible to become immensely valuable by singing what I think are the most hideous songs."

What about Tom Jones? He's made a million and he's a bloody awful singer. Response to a comment at a small-business lunch about how difficult it is in Britain to get rich.


Tom Jones

I wish he'd turn the microphone off! The Prince expresses his opinion of Elton John's performance at the 73rd Royal Variety Show, 2001.

If it doesn't fart or eat hay, she isn't interested. Of his daughter, Princess Anne.


Princess Anne

It makes you all look like Dracula's daughters! To pupils at Queen Anne's School in Reading, who wear blood-red uniforms, in 1998.

sometimes, the prince gets as much as he gives:

And what exotic part of the world do you come from? Asked in 1999 of Tory politician Lord Taylor of Warwick, whose parents are Jamaican. He replied: Birmingham.
