PRINCE PHILIP, THE HUSBAND OF QUEEN ELIZABETH II, IS DEAD

Prince Philip was known for his gaffes.

One of his more famous gaffes was when Prince Philip told British students in China during the 1986 state visit: “If you stay here much longer, you’ll all be slitty-eyed.”

In 2002, when visiting an Aboriginal culture park in the Queensland rainforests of Australia, he asked an Aboriginal businessman: “Do you still throw spears at each other?” William Brim replied: “No. We don’t do that anymore.”
