Prince Philip made a funny comment on famous footballer David Beckham
Known for his wit, Prince Philip once made a comment on a UK sports hero.
In a satirical comment, the Duke of Edinburgh took a dig at the marriage throne of former footballer David and wife Victoria Beckham.
At the Queen's final birth anniversary in 2012, both the monarch and husband took part in a river contest.
Turning down his royal throne for the occasion, Prince Philip and the Queen mingled with the participants, when asked why he didn't sit in his allotted seat, the duke replied:
"We looked like Mr. and Mrs. Beckham, didn't we?"
David and Victoria famously sat on the Red Velvet Throne during their 1999 wedding.
When Prince Philip passed away in 2021, the former Manchester United player also sent his conodelcnes.
He wrote: "My thoughts and sympathies go out to Her Majesty the Queen and the Royal Family as we join them to mourn the loss of Prince Philip.
“A public figure to the world but first a loving husband, father and grandfather. Today is a day to remember his life and incredible service in the UK and around the world. Rest in peace Your Excellency."
