Prince Philip was in his counting house, counting all the fucks he had to give, and on realising he had none left whatsoever, let loose on a royal photographer who was taking too damn long to snap his picture.
Phil, aka the Duke of Edinburgh, aka the royal most consistently prone to entertaining public gaffes, was at a photo call for the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain when it occurred.
After spending all morning watching historic planes fly over Buckingham Palace, the above group photo was the only thing standing between him and a delicious lunch.
As the photographer made final adjustments to the sitters, Phil, whose blood sugar was probably running pretty low at that point, gestured for him to get back to the camera and snapped “just take the fucking picture!”
Old people swearing = never not funny. Enjoy:
The photographer kept his cool, and can be heard saying “eyes on me” moments before taking the photo. Philip then went to lunch, where he made himself sick after going back for four helpings of soft serve and sprinkles and had to lie down for the rest of the day.
Shockingly enough, Buckingham Palace have not made an official comment on any of this.
