Not the most shocking of post titles, I have to admit, but this occurred near where Mum lives (in fact right where they used to live), so it caught my attention.
The Queen and Prince Philip were attending Swansea’s leisure centre, to re-open it following extensive improvements, and dropped in on St Thomas’s Community Primary School to, well, probably just say “Hello, and what do you do?”. Anyway, Philip unwisely opened his mouth, and surprisingly enough, insulted a lot of women who live in the East, by proclaiming he thought “Eastern women just sit around smoking pipes and eating sweets all day”, when shown a display of some locals belly dancing.
