Where the Queen's husband asketh what "knickers" One weareth

One's royal husband has spewed another public royal gaffe; and dare I say One's latest joke borders on the lines of verbal indiscretion of a sexual nature.

In the wake of the Papal's visit to Scotland, the Duke of Hazard Edinburgh yesterday asked the leader of the Scottish Conservative Party(Annabel Goldie) if she was wearing tartan "knickers" to which she replied "I couldn't possibly comment - and even if I did, I couldn't possibly exhibit them."
Reports say Ms Goldie responded in "hoots of laughter" and was later heard to remark "humour was truly well and alive in the royal family". Indeed it is! As alive as a fit kicking stroppy spotty teen. One can't help but think if an un-Royal One(mere commoners like you and I) had uttered such a crude joke, it would have been condemned and deemed sexually inappropriate. Different rules for the blue blooded humorous royal.

One wonders if Annabel Goldie would have equally responded in "hoots of laughter" if a party member had asked the Duke's similar "joke".

You have witty sarcastic dry humorous British jokes and then you have crude rude sexual jokes which  are anything but royal. Prince Philip's "latest joke" falls in the latter category. It is daring with a high sexual tinge to it and one which will be better suited amongst pregnant beer bellied tattooed van or lorry drivers; and not a blue blooded Royal.
Below are some of One's Royal Gaffes which One has Royally uttered throughout the years:

• London 2009:"There's a lot of your family in tonight".Remark made to Asian businessman man-Mr Patel; at a reception of British Indians in Buckingham Palace
• China 1986: To a group of British students "if you stay here much longer you'll all be slitty-eyed".

• "And what exotic part of the world do you come from?"(To smiling black man at a commonwealth party.The man, Lord Taylor of Warwick replied "I am from Birmingham")

• Australia 2002: "Still throwing spears?" To an Aborigine.
• Edinburgh 1999: "it looks as if it was put in by an Indian" On an old fashion fuse box in an Edinburgh factory.
• Budapest 1993: "You can't have been here that long- you haven't got a pot belly" To a Brit in Budapest.
• UK 1966: "British women can't cook"(One wonders if he speaks from the tasting experience on his wife's culinary expertise).
• Wales 1999: "Deaf?If you are near there, no wonder you are deaf". (To a group of young deaf people in Cardiff, making reference to their school band)
• Kenya 1984: "You are a woman aren't you" (To a native Kenyan female who presented him with a gift)

• On the UK 1981 recession: "Everybody was saying we must have more leisure. Now they are complaining they are unemployed"
• "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!"(I couldn't agree more with the last quote from personal experiences!).

One would perhaps be much more suited as a  Right Royal stand up comedian.
