If pitched the right way, Aye right , as if he has the slightest clue about anything us commoners have to endure on a daily basis , he is a plonker born with status which we pay for and he thinks he is something special. |

Why is his rudeness excused?
Usually because of his age If anyone else came out with a lot of his remarks, they wouldn't be excused as amusing and witty, but sexist and mysogonistic The fact that he's the Queens" rock" and started the Duke of Edinburgh Award and various charities, seems to give him carte Blanche Of course he's human and his unlikeable traits do not mean he's not a good man, but the media could at least be honest when they write about him. He's only like many old granddads after all Perhaps the Queen does nag him in private when he's overstepped the mark! Wonder if anyone has ever told him he's a truculent, curmudgeonly old buffoon? Probably have , but found themselves unemployed afterwards! Or, he might think their honesty is refreshing and hates being fawned over |

Usually when the tabloids accuse him of being rude or not Politically Correct, the people he is supposed to have offended have no problem with what he said.
If it had come from a stranger in the street, his comments may well have caused an argument or fight When it comes from HRH, it's amusing banter From anyone else it's an insult |
