1. He's almost 90 years old. nt

[burning rain]

2. With Philip,...

you have to be glad he didn't ask Barack where his spear was. Philip's appalling -- a walking advertisement for abolishing the monarchy.

[Libertas1776]

3. ...

I love how on the news they're talking about Obama breaching royal etiquette...calling her Her Royal Highness and not Her Majesty and Michelle may have touched her back (My god what an outrage:sarcasm:) meanwhile Prince Mountmoron over there cracks another one of his racist chestnuts...For all the USA's faults, thank god we don't have a queen and all that bull.

[JDPriestly]

18. We Americans have been insulting the British for years.

And they insulted us in our early years.

4. I don't think the report says that.

Leaders, yes, Chinese, no. Obama mentioned that he'd "had breakfast with the Prime Minister, then meetings with the Chinese, the Russians, David Cameron, and I'm proud to say I did not nod off in any of them." HRH asked, "Can you tell the difference between them?" I'm not exactly sure what was so inappropriate about it. Obama has a hectic schedule, and the Prince was referencing that.

5. ...

He's said plenty of things like that in the past...especially regarding the Chinese. I believe he once told British students that if they stayed in Beijing too long, they would become "slanty" eyed. But in his defense...he is a pushing 90 old dinosaur, a relic of time long ago, much like the monarchy.

7. "slitty-eyed"

Nasty old coot.

And he was a nasty young coot when he was young.

[IntravenousDemilo]

8. Yes, but he didn't do anything like that this time, so I'm wondering why this is newsworthy.

And yes, I know you're not the OP.

[LynnTheDem]

6. He's a racist, always has been.

Always will be.

It is quite amazing though how the Queen & parliament haven't long ago told him to STFU.

[mackerel]

9. Now we know where dear Harry gets it.

[JI7]

16. Harry gets his looks from Philip

william looks a lot like Diana and you can see Charles in him also.

but Harry totally looks like Philip.

[SlipperySlope]

10. I can't tell the Chinese apart either

I mean, there are over 1.3 billion of them. I don't know how anybody can keep that many Chinese straight.

[qazplm]

11. I do it

by assigning them names.

[hendo]

13. That would be far to easy

but remember, they have to be names we Americans can understand. ;)

We could just assign them all numbers.
:sarcasm:

[Reform]

12. Philip said once

"In the event that I am reincarnated, I would like to return as a deadly virus, in order to contribute something to solve overpopulation."

[Bear down under]

14. Surprised?

After all, Philip is a distant relative of Mr Obama's predecessor...

[JI7]

15. i don't think he meant Chinese but "world leaders"

[tomm2thumbs]

19. that's how I took it -

[Wizard777]

17. Prince Phillip is the British version of Joe Biden. They are both famous for their gaffes
