Prince Philip in the New York Times

I liked his comment quoted in the BBC article here:

'At 90, Prince Philip said he was "winding down" his involvement with charities.
...
"It's better to get out before you reach the sell-by date." '

Just my $0.02.

I agree with Andy here. I think Prince Phillip crosses over the line once in a while in what, to me, is unacceptable territory.
OTOH, some of his comments are fantastic! I especially like Rathdown's quote, and there are many others I've heard where he just cuts through the c#@p!
