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.

The great price attracted me but I guess I was disappointed by the content. HHs comments are wonderfully witty I just thought there would be more of them. The book resides in the lounge for casual reference.

Quite a short book with only 83 pages, not as full of gaffs as i thought it would be, but i did find myself laughing out loud to some of the entries. Enjoyable, but i'm glad it was less than £4.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Not at all politically correct, but then neither am I :) Loved it !!!

Prince Philip is a man after my own heart, doesn't suffer fools gladly,never afraid to say what he thinks and often getting into trouble for it. I have never been politically correct and never will be and this book appealed to my wicked sense of humour. I had heard a number of his gaffes but there were numerous gaffes I was not familiar with. The book is hilarious and hard to put down once you start reading it. A thoroughly enjoyable book. 10/10.
