LONDON - Prince Philip, known for his gaffe-prone remarks, asked a sea cadet whether she works at a strip club, a media report said Friday.
The Duke of Edinburgh was inspecting cadets in Exeter and asked 24-year-old barmaid Elizabeth Rendle what she did for a living, Daily Express reported.
I told him I worked in a club.
He then asked if it was a strip club. Then he said its a bit too cold today anyway, Rendle was quoted as saying.
She, however, added: He was just putting people at ease.
The Sun reported that in 1986 he told a group of British students in China: “If you stay here much longer, you’ll all be slitty-eyed”.
Prince Philip asked a driving instructor in Scotland in 1995: “How do you keep the natives off the booze long enough to get them through the test?”
During a tour of Australia in 2002 he asked an Aborigine if they still threw spears at each other.
