EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Slip of the Tongue: Prince Philip's Unforgettable Moment, 1986" This caricature, created in 1986, depicts His Royal Highness Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, in a moment of unintended humor. The Duke, born in 1920, is renowned for his candid and often unfiltered remarks, which have earned him the nickname "the world's most controversial royal." In this illustration, Prince Philip is shown in full regalia, including his military uniform, as he takes a step forward, only to find himself slipping on a banana skin laid haphazardly on the ground. This playful image serves as a humorous commentary on the Duke's infamous "gaffes" – instances where his words or actions have caused unexpected controversy or amusement. The year 1986 was particularly eventful for the Duke, who made several headline-grabbing remarks during official engagements. For instance, during a visit to Canada, he quipped, "You can't have too many of these things in one family," while looking at a group of indigenous people. The comment was criticized for its insensitivity and lack of cultural understanding. This caricature, with its lighthearted take on Prince Philip's gaffes, offers a unique perspective on the Duke's public persona. It serves as a reminder that, despite his occasional missteps, the Duke remains an intriguing and enduring figure in the annals of royal history. This print, with its rich detail and vivid colors, is a must-have for any collection of royal portraits or caricatures. It offers a delightful glimpse into the human side of one of the most influential figures of the 20th century.
