Prince Philip in strip tease gaffe at Navy sea cadet

By Richard Smith 12/03/2010

Gaffe-prone Prince Philip was nearly in hot water again yesterday after asking a young Navy sea cadet if she worked in a strip club.

The Duke, 88, made the "joke" after asking Elizabeth Rendle about her job.

Barmaid Elizabeth, 24, revealed: "I told him I worked in a club. He then asked if it was a strip club - then he said it was too cold anyway.

"I don't think he put his foot in it, it was a joke and I didn't take offence. He was just putting people at ease."

Phillip was touring Devon with the Queen when he made the remark at the Wyvern Barracks in Exeter.

He is famous for his close to the knuckle comments, and once asked a driving instructor in Oban, Scotland: "How do you keep the natives off the booze long enough to pass the test?"

The Royal couple also visited the Wrigley gum factory in Plymouth yesterday - which was opened by the Duke 38 years ago.

Another silly comment from the Nation's representative:

Prince Philip is back in the headlines with another “gaffe”, followed by the usual “oh what is he like” response. This time, he asked a group of East End women: “Who do you sponge off?” The easy response here is that they weren’t personally offended, so what’s the problem?

Frankly, I'm only surprised the women didn't tell him they sponge off the same lot (the taxpayer) as Prince Phillip and his clan sponge off!

It's funny that some people think that because the official language of this forum is English, that we should be interested in what happens in UK and what the Royal family and the Quenna and the fairly tales Princess does.
In all honesty guys, WHO CARES?
This is CYPRUS' FORUM not England's forum
