The Duke's, so called, 'gaffes'.

[Khandro]

Why when he says these things , are they called 'gaffes', it's just humour isn't it? If they were said by a stand-up comic (he would be excellent) they would just be seen as fun, the press can't accept that he is a very witty guy. I hope if I make 90, I have still got a similar sense of humour. Happy Birthday says I.

Phil's brill.

[Sqad]

I agree with OP and my darling salla.

[mrsmaveric]

he has been doing it for decades..its all tongue in cheek..he even called my home city ghastly a few years ago..but i didnt take offence..he makes me laugh...

[emmie]

Having watched the programme with Fiona Bruce i thought he came off as worldly wise and funny, i am sure he has his bad days, but have 60 years of the press
on your case, then im positive we would all get a little tetchy.

[ummmm]

I think he's great.

Happy birthday Phil :-)

[mccfluff]

i don;t know some of his so called "gaffe's" are incredibly rude and racist but he's the queens hubby so its ok

[jno]

callling the Chinese slitty-eyed is just humour? I'm sure Bernard Manning would have agreed, but I don't see why you'd appoint Bernard Manning to a diplomatic job, which is what Philip has got.

[ummmm]

Change the record...

[ummmm]

That was to Doc....

[Sqad]

Doc....life is quite simple........it is not what you say, but who you are.

[mccfluff]

doc's right tho if he said it he would be labelled a racist

[ummmm]

I was thinking his gaffes like...

Don't know who and why but he asked a young lady what she did. She said she worked in a club....he replied 'what? a strip club'

[ChuckFickens]

As it happen, DOC, I do think phillip is Rude, bigoted and raciest and If he spoke to me the way he spoke to Fiona Bruce and others I would say that to his face and probably walk out the interview.

[Big Jenny]

Obviously some people are over-sensitive and lacking a sense of humour, then.

[Dee Sa]

he is a rude arrogant bigot and knows he can get away with it, I am sure he knew quite a lot about Dianagate too, can be a nasty bit of work.
