Is Prince Philip a national hero or a national embarrassment?

Does The Duke of Edinburgh most recent gaffe involving a female Sea Cadets Instructor make you wince with embarrassment or do you feel Britain just wouldn't be the same without Prince Philip?

Also, I managed to find these rather excellent quotes - although I am unsure if they are all correctly attributed to the Duke of Edinburgh!
1. China State Visit, 1986
If you stay here much longer, you’ll all be slitty-eyed.
2. To a blind women with a guide
“Do you know they have eating dogs for the anorexic now?”
3. To an Aborigine in Australia
“Do you still throw spears at each other?”
4. To his wife, the Queen, after her coronation
“Where did you get the hat?”
5. To a driving instructor in Scotland
“How do you keep the natives off the booze long enough to get them through the test?”
6. To the President of Nigeria, dressed in traditional robes
“You look like you’re ready for bed!”
7. On the London Traffic Debate
“The problem with London is the tourists. They cause the congestion. If we could just stop tourism, we could stop the congestion.”
8. After the Dunblane shooting
“If a cricketer, for instance, suddenly decided to go into a school and batter a lot of people to death with a cricket bat, which he could do very easily, I mean, are you going to ban cricket bats?”
9. To a student who had been trekking in Papua New Guinea
“You managed not to get eaten, then?”
10. To the matron of a hospital in the Caribbean
“You have mosquitos. I have the Press”
All the best,
Spare Ed
