Britain's very own embarrassing (royal) granddad turned 90 this
year and this shamefully funny collection of the Duke's greatest
gaffes celebrates the best from a lifetime of quotes that made the
nation groan and then laugh with embarrassment. With illustrations
throughout, this is a laugh-out-loud funny tribute to the master of
mis-speaking: When accepting a figurine from a woman during a visit
to Kenya he said: 'You are a woman aren't you?' He asked a Scottish
driving instructor how he 'kept the natives off the booze' long
enough to get a licence. In Cardiff he told children from the
British Deaf Association, who were stood by a Caribbean steel band:
'If you're near that music it's no wonder you're deaf'. 'Still
throwing spears?' - a question to an Aborigine during a visit to
Australia.
