Prince Philip was well-known for his often racially-charged quips at public appearances, including his 1999 comment that a fuse box with wires spilling out at an Edinburgh electronics factory looked like it had been “put in by an Indian”.
BBC news presenter Andrew Marr has sparked a Twitstorm after saying the late Prince Philip walked behind his wife Queen Elizabeth “like an Indian bride”.
Marr, more used to grilling politicians on his Sunday morning show, appeared to confuse Hindu customs with those of Saudi Arabia when he was brought on opposite BBC newsreader Reeta Chakrabarti on Friday during the channel’s rolling coverage of the prince’s death aged 99.
The Duke of Edinburgh was himself notorious for his many public gaffes, often of a racial nature.
Twitterati were quick to point out the irony of Marr putting his foot in it the same way.
