I remember an interview Prince Philip gave with Fiona Bruce on BBC TV a few years ago. She was extremely deferential and polite, and her questions were hardly controversial (and had probably been agreed beforehand). He was absolutely vile to the poor woman, aggressively dismissive, rude and arrogant. If I'd been Fiona, I'd have simply got up and walked out, and left the unpleasant man sitting there alone.

He also it would seem finds any folk of an ethnicity that isn't white and Anglo Saxon amusing and he rather despises them. As Steve says, thick and racist.
