Some people just don’t know when to keep their mouths shut! Gaff-prone royal Prince Philip has done it again, coming out with a cracker when he and the Queen were being introduced to an army cadet who was blinded in a bomb blast. When Her oajesty asked the soldier how much sight he still had left, Philip blurted out, “Not a lot, judging by the tie he’s wearing!”
The soldier’s mother was not impressed, saying, “Philip really is so out of touch with reality. He is from another world. Even the Queen had a look of shock on her face.”
The next victim of Philip’s cringe-worthy wit was an Australian comic with a prosthetic lower leg. “You could smuggle a bottle of gin out of the country in that foot,” Philip chuckled. Fortunately, the comic thought it was genius.
