Prince Philip
I have very little experience of self-government. In fact, I am one of the most governed people in the world.
Prince Philip
Only a Scotsman can really survive a Scottish education.
Prince Philip
We didn't have counsellors rushing around every time somebody let off a gun. You just got on with it!
Prince Philip
All money nowadays seems to be produced with a natural homing instinct for the Treasury.

You're not wearing mink knickers,are you?
