Oh he was at it again recently.

Gaffe-prone Prince Philip was nearly in hot water again yesterday after asking a young Navy sea cadet if she worked in a strip club.

The Duke, 88, made the "joke" after asking Elizabeth Rendle about her job.

Barmaid Elizabeth, 24, revealed: "I told him I worked in a club. He then asked if it was a strip club - then he said it was too cold anyway.

"I don't think he put his foot in it, it was a joke and I didn't take offence. He was just putting people at ease."

Phillip was touring Devon with the Queen when he made the remark at the Wyvern Barracks in Exeter.

Such a funny man.

I kinda agree with him. The college I went to is a tourist attraction, and I can't tell you the number of times I was almost late to class because of idiotic tourists standing in the main doorway and staring at things.
