Britain's very own embarrassing (royal) granddad turned 90 this year & this shamefully funny collection of the Duke's greatest gaffes celebrates the best from a lifetime of"es that made the nation groan & then laugh with embarrassment. With illustrations throughout, this is a laugh-out-loud funny tribute to the master of mis-speaking: When accepting a figurine from a woman during a visit to Kenya he said: ' You are a woman aren't you?' He asked a Scottish driving instructor how he 'kept the natives off the booze' long enough to get a licence. In Cardiff he told children from the British Deaf Association, who were stood by a Caribbean steel band: ' If you're near that music it's no wonder you're deaf'. ' Still throwing spears?'
