caption time, tony!

"It's that fecking Nicholas T'witchell, gets right up my right nostril and Brenda's too."

[tonyav]

Good idea DT, I never thought of caption time.

He has spent his whole life shouting and swearing at people who can't answer back, so what is the big deal this time ?

[tonyav]

No big deal, just typical Phil imo.

[SIRandyraven]

He must be a bit senile by now also.
Just see him now shouting and swearing at his man servant when he forgets where he put his glasses or false teeth lol

[Baldric]

He's 94, and it said in the link that
///He looked visibly distressed at the time it was taking///
How do we know there isn't some underlying condition that's causing him a problem?

[Pete65]

I think that is very likely, Baldric.

I met him and HMQ outside the Orangery inside the Garden Gate (Buckingham Palace). The occasion was to get a thank you for continuous work my unit was involved in with them and others in the Royal Household.
It was a line up and informal chat. We were warned.You don't get tongue tied with HMQ. She has a wonderful skill with leading the conversation and you fall into it with ease.Watch the Duke though. The old man does not suffer fools gladly.No trite banal comments.!! He hasn't changed bless him. :-)

[Caribeing]

Time is precious to him now so no faffing about with photos!

He's always come over that way to me to, retrocop.

You know where you stand with Ladies and Gentlemen with that outlook.No two faces there.

He is an old man, who would probably have wanted to put his feet and watch the racing on Channel 4, rather than get dolled up and photographed. He has always been bad tempered, so I can't see that this is anything different.

[Canary42]

He behaves like Lewis Carroll's Red Queen.

[ummmm]

I think he's hilarious.

94 year old man gets frustrated and swears. Not much of a story is it? For the journo who set it against a war time background.......good luck with your career.

[Ken4155]

I know it's a radical thought, folks, but he may, just may, have been concerned not for himself but for the war vets he was being photographed alongside:-)
