Philip wouldn’t have the reputation he had without a few gaffes. These are particularly egregious — and particularly funny. My favourite:
"I declare this thing open, whatever it is." - On a visit to Canada in 1969.
“Whatever it is."

Perhaps my favourite line from Sandra Martin’s obituary:
Elizabeth wore the crown and Philip the trousers.
This is my favourite obituary of the day. Brought tears to my eyes. The world will never see another individual — especially a man — take the role Philip took without a word of public complaint.
Honourable obituary for an honourable man. Seventy-three years of marriage and ever the man of duty. Incredible.
