Well... one Duke in particular who is about to turn 85 has had a book written about his supposed public gaffes (my father always called him Phil the Greek). One of his apparent sins recently:
At the weekend he again put his foot in it, saying he would do "as little as possible" at the London Olympics in 2012. "Opening and closing ceremonies ought to be banned," he said. "Absolute bloody nuisances."
He scornfully recalled the 1972 Munich Olympics, where the main arena could not be used for showjumping because it had to be prepared for the closing ceremony.
I couldn't agree with him more.
