The Prince Philip Movement

I actually started a blog about 10 months ago, but I made one post a then gave up. Because I’m stuck for time, I thought I would just publish my first ever entry. It’s dedicated to my favourite royal family member and the other catalyst for publishing is that some fool didn’t believe in the prince philip movement.  So here we go…..

Bow down cretins!

Prince Philip is the husband to our Queen, Elizabeth II. Some of you may be saying “What, Elizabeth is married?”, I got this response plenty of times when I brought him up in conversation in both Brazil and America. The reason why he doesn’t receive mass exposure is quite simple really and that is because he completely barmy! That’s right, its a known fact that the royal family don’t like him making public appearances because he’s usually very offensive or just downright rude.

Here are 5 reasons that outline this.

1. China State Visit, 1986

If you stay here much longer, you’ll all be slitty-eyed.

2. To an Aborigine in Australia

“Do you still throw spears at each other?”

3. When asked if he would like to visit the Soviet Union

“The bastards murdered half my family”

4. On the London Traffic Debate

“The problem with London is the tourists. They cause the congestion. If we could just stop tourism, we could stop the congestion.”

5. On key problems facing Brazil

“Brazilians live there”

This is also something I rinsed from wikipedia: The prince Philip Movement

The Prince Philip Movement is a cargo cult of the Yaohnanen tribe on the southern island of Tanna in Vanuatu.

The Yaohnanen believe that Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, the consort to Queen Elizabeth II, is a divine being, the pale-skinned son of a mountain spirit and brother of John Frum. According to ancient tales the son travelled over the seas to a distant land, married a powerful lady and would in time return. The villagers had observed the respect accorded to Queen Elizabeth II by colonial officials and came to the conclusion that her husband, Prince Philip, must be the son from their legends. When the cult formed is unclear, but it is likely that it was sometime in the 1950s or 1960s. Their beliefs were strengthened by the royal couple’s official visit to Vanuatu in 1974 when a few villagers had the opportunity to observe the prince from afar. At the time the Prince was not aware of the cult, but the matter was eventually brought to his attention by John Champion, the British Resident Commissioner in Vanuatu between 1975 and 1978. The Resident Commissioner suggested that the Prince send them a portrait of himself. A signed official photograph was duly dispatched. The villagers responded by sending a traditional nal-nal club. As requested the Prince in return sent them a photograph of himself posing with the weapon. Another photograph was sent in 2000. All three photographs are currently kept by Chief Jack Naiva.

What a guy.
