Answer 2

This is a personal, almost first-hand one.  I was at York university UK in the 1960's and one day we were privileged to receive an official visit from the Queen and Prince Philip.  Most of us who didn't want to see them made ourselves scarce and went out for the day, but there was one poor guy who was on crutches with a leg in plaster through a motor cycle riding pillion accident, he couldn't get out and had to sit around in the common room.  Prince Philip comes up to him 'start of the rugger season, what?', this guy, now, is a skinny bespectacled mature student and looks nothing like a rugby player, 'No' he replies to Prince Philip, 'a motor cycle accident'.  To which the Prince replies 'I've got no sympathy for you then'!

Her Majesty and Prince Philip visited the company I worked for in the 70`s. Being a heavy engineering plant the walkways had been specially covered to prevent them tripping and lined with posts and white rope. The workforce were standing along the route when Prince Philip strode over the ropes and was heard to say to one of his flunkies " I`m going to see the parts they haven`t tarted up" and strolled down the workshop with his guards after him.
