Harry is obviously starting to take after Prince Phillip, in the putting your foot in it stakes!

No, sadly the younger generation are very cool in some ways, but the old traditional views are very very hard to break!

Here are the top 15 quotes from Philip:

1. China State Visit, 1986

If you stay here much longer, you’ll all be slitty-eyed.

2. To a blind women with a guide

“Do you know they have eating dogs for the anorexic now?”

3. To an Aborigine in Australia

“Do you still throw spears at each other?”

4. To his wife, the Queen, after her coronation

“Where did you get the hat?”

5. When asked if he would like to visit the Soviet Union

“The bastards murdered half my family”

6. To a Briton in Budapest

“You can’t have been here that long - you haven’t got a pot belly.”

7. To a driving instructor in Scotland

“How do you keep the natives off the booze long enough to get them through the test?”

8. After the Dunblane shooting

“If a cricketer, for instance, suddenly decided to go into a school and batter a lot of people to death with a cricket bat, which he could do very easily, I mean, are you going to ban cricket bats?”

9. To a student who had been trekking in Papua New Guinea

“You managed not to get eaten, then?”

10. To Elton John after hearing Elton had sold his Gold Aston Martin

“Oh, it’s you that owns that ghastly car - we often see it when driving to Windsor Castle.”

11. On the London Traffic Debate

“The problem with London is the tourists. They cause the congestion. If we could just stop tourism, we could stop the congestion.”

12. To the President of Nigeria, dressed in traditional robes

“You look like you’re ready for bed!”

13. Unknown

“If you see a man opening a car door for a woman, it means one of two things: it’s either a new woman or a new car!”

14. On key problems facing Brazil

“Brazilians live there”

15. To the matron of a hospital in the Caribbean

“You have mosquitos. I have the Press”

It's not the first time is it? When asked about his girlfriend's dad's dodgy business deals and if Chelsy is suitable he replied, 'What? She isn't black or anything.'

Harry isn't exactly the spitting image of Prince Charles is he?

Well they're never going to admit it are they, but I think it's blindingly obvious!

I don't hate the Windsors, but there's an interesting site for people who do.

Have you noticed Charles, Andrew and Edward don't look much like each other, too?

In your opinion it's perfectly OK for a member of the royal family to use words like Paki and raghead?

You have to research, cross check and corroborate for yourself.

Who knows? There are some that believe that Diana was assassinated because of her choice of partner. Let's not forget how powerful these people are.

Who knows. Sometimes children don't necessarily resemble their parents, but maybe have more the features of their grandparents, that's the weird thing about genetics.

Take two of my cousins, brother and sister, father white, mother Hawaiian, the older sister is pale and white as can be, brother has the darker skin tone. You just don't know.

Of course it's a load rubbish - until you do some research. If you can't be bothered, fine, but how can you claim right now that it's a load of rubbish?

Yeah, and sometimes kids look like their mum's boyfriend.

Is it acceptable to say "Paki"?
If Young Harold was in the Paki army and colonel Safraz says "There is our little Brit friend"......Isn't that the same??

I might be offended at being accused of being a Brit, simply because I am English.
