【American classic porn movie Hot Lunch (1978)】

With Prince Philip retiring from his royal duties,American classic porn movie Hot Lunch (1978) there will be fewer occasions for him to make his trademark gaffes and off-kilter remarks.

At times over the years, the 95-year-old's cringe-inducing comments had a naive charm. Other times though, they're less "endearing dad-joke" and more "incredibly racist grandpa." Either way, he's usually at odds with the decorum and finesse usually expected by a member of the Royal Family.
