No I think he says just what he thinks, brilliant :D

He is a part Danish, part Greek in-bred waste of space. Why would you expect him to be anything other than arrogant, rude and uninformed? It's not like he's going to lose his job, is it?

Oh, what a gaffe, I mean, surely he should be hanged, drawn and quartered for that sort of comment!

...the Prince remarked that "tourism is just national prostitution" and that "we don't need any more tourists. They ruin cities".

Has the SMH got nothing better to report on??!?

I think it's one of the more sensible statements he's made, too, and if people are getting their knickers in a twist about the use of the word "prostitution" that's their issue. However, seeing as the British Royal Family essentially pulls in the crowds for Blighty PLC, he did rather shoot himself in the foot. :lol:

Kooky should buy it and become a brothel madam :) Perfect career change!

Apparently the old Madam is plying her wares (her own, for a change), wants the job.

Good on him. I think it's great that someone speaks their mind. It's not his job to keep everyone else happy, it's their job to not get upset by it.

What exactly is his job now that the succession is assured?

Promoting the UK? As a tourist destination perhaps?

Dear old Philip, he's such a wag. Frankly, one has to admire his fortitude, I'd be a little potty if I were married to a dreadful old harridan too. :(
