It makes you proud to be British (or Greek/German)
Far be it from me to call the Queen's husband a bumbling idiot - I'll let someone else do that - but Prince Philip deosn't do himself any favours when it comes to convincing people otherwise.
Among his well-known forays into ignorance, are his infamous 'slitty-eyed' comment about Chinese people and his question to an Australian Aboriginal: 'Do you still throw spears?'
Now, proving that he is not just a casual racist but also blissfully unaware of the leading stage and screen icons of our generation, he has struck again.
It is reported that Cate Blanchett, who played one of Phil's relatives in a rather large film production last year, was attending a function at Buckingham Palace recently.
Informed that Blanchett was 'in the film industry', he strolled over to her and asked her if she could fix his DVD player.
Rearrange these three words to describe Prince Philip:
Fool, ignorant, old.
