Thought people here would like to know this!

Both our countries have their aristocrats who are taken far too seriously on health matters just because of who their ancestors are. America has RFK Jr. We have Prince Charles.

1. Thanks! Quote Of The Day here...

"The prince is well-meaning, but he has views about these things that are somewhat medieval."

:rofl:

That apple didn't fall far from the tree. A few quotes from his Dad, Prince Philip:

"I don't think a prostitute is more moral than a wife, but they are doing the same thing."

To British students in China during a state visit: "If you stay here much longer, you'll all be slitty-eyed".

Comment on an old-fashioned electrical fuse box in Edinburgh: "It looks as if it was put in by an Indian."

Comforting the unemployed during the 1981 recession: "Everybody was saying we must have more leisure. Now they are complaining they are unemployed."

Thanking a Kenyan woman who gave him a gift: "You are a woman, aren't you?"

In Australia, when asked to stroke a Koala bear: "Oh no, I might catch some ghastly disease."

To a student who vacationed in Papua New Guinea: "You managed not to get eaten, then?"

From the great AARSE site run by irreverent, atheistic (and generally anonymous) members of the British Army:
