He tells Indian businessman Atul Patel 'There's a lot of your family in tonight' at a 400-strong Buckingham Palace reception for British Indians in October last year.

Navy sea cadet instructor Elizabeth Rendle, 24, who works in a bar was asked 'Is it a strip club?' by the Prince. She said: 'It was a joke and I didn't take any offence,' after the blunder in Exeter, Devon, in March.

A Buckingham Palace guest with a goatee who told Prince Philip he was a designer got the sharp response: ‘Well, you didn’t design your beard too well, did you?’ in July last year.

Prince Philip surprised Aborigines in Australia by asking 'Do you still throw spears at each other?' during a state visit in March 2002. Cultural park manager William Brim replied: 'No, we don't do that any more.'

A Scottish driving instructor was asked in 1995: 'How do you keep the natives off the booze long enough to pass the test?'

When visiting Hungary in 1993 he said to a resident Briton: 'You can't have been here long - you haven't got a pot belly.'

When visiting the Welsh Assembly he offended a group from the British Deaf Association in May 1999. He pointed to a band they were standing near and said: 'Deaf? If you are near there, no wonder you are deaf.'

British students in China were told during a state visit in 1986: 'If you stay here much longer you will all be slitty-eyed'.

He said to a student travelling across Papua New Guinea in 1998: 'You managed not to get eaten then?'
