Prince Philip

Prince Philip, husband of Queen Elizabeth II, has been a member of Navy Lodge 2612 since 1952.  A man of many titles, he is known for a blunt and caustic sense of humor which has garnered criticism on occasion.  A few examples:

Upon hearing he was about to attend an event where Madonna would sing, he asked, "Do we need ear plugs?"

Constantly at odds with the press, he confronted a reporter at a gala and asked why he was there. The reporter responded that he had been invited.  Philip shot back, "Well you didn't have to come."
"If you see a man opening a car door for a woman, it means one of two things: it's either a new woman or a new car."

Among his charitable works, Prince Philip is patron of the British Heart Foundation.
