In 2000, soon after Queen Elizabeth had officially opened a British Embassy in Berlin, for instance—a project that had cost 18 million pounds—the Prince described it as a “vast waste of space,” and a few years later, at the age of 90, asked a group at a community center who they were “sponging off.” The prince did not suffer fools gladly, and to political correctness he was a stranger. His often excruciating gaffes came to define his public persona as much as his regimental comportment and stoicism, and often veered very far from such anodyne comments as the “Have you come far?” with which the Queen customarily greets her subjects.
