Windsor, Prince Philip (UK) - Another Royal Slipup
When talking to some british students in Oriental Asia (think it was China), he joked with them "you shouldn't stay here too long, or you'll turn slitty-eyed"
This comment was made by Prince Philip to a group of British students who were studying at Beijing University, Beijing, China during an official visit in March 1986. It was during this same trip that Philip described Beijing as "Ghastly", a comment that received wide press coverage. Needless to say, the Queen was not amused!
