Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, has a homophobic joke, primarily based on a well-known British nursery rhyme, that the majority of his mates have heard greater than as soon as.
“Oh, the grand outdated Duke of York, he had ten thousand males,” Andrew says earlier than pausing, and delivering the punch line, “And by God, I can let you know it damage.”
“It wasn’t notably humorous twenty years in the past,” says one supply. “However the truth he nonetheless comes out with this ghastly stuff, after every little thing he has been accused of, actually exhibits how smug and out of contact he's. The extraordinary factor about Andrew is that he's much more smug in particular person than the newspapers make him out to be.” (A spokesperson for Prince Andrew declined to touch upon the veracity of the joke, or any of the issues raised on this piece.)
