I have 'met' Prince Philip when he was Chancellor of Edinburgh University. I say 'met', but we selected students from the Faculty of Arts were lined up rather nervously waiting for the Great Pooh Bah to do a walkabout. He emerged from the David Hume Tower, stalked past us with his nose in the air and a look on his face as if he'd just trodden in some dog shit (perhaps he had?) and spoke to no-one. Arrogance and disdain oozed from his every pore.
I've posted on here before about Princess Margaret who 'interviewed' my fierce father (GPO Manager for West London) in Kensington Palace about installing secure phone lines. She was absolutely rude, snotty, arrogant and dismissive, but he gave as good as he got!
They seem to have this disgraceful attitude that they're better than everyone else and the 'oiks' are beneath their feet.
Sod that!
