Apparently Our Own Dear Queen has been known, earlier in her life, to refer to black people as "fuzzy-wuzzies", which is an almost infantile-sounding term, probably more indicative of a ludicrously sheltered upbringing than actual race-hatred. As for the Duke of Edinburgh (Prince Philip, or Phil The Greek, as he's more colloquially known), it's hard to know where to start. What about his comment to an English student who was studying in China: "Better not stay here too long, or you'll go home with slitty eyes." Azeem in London NP: Gianna Nannini - California (no, don't get all excited, it's not THAT song, but an album by Italy's foremost rock singer of the 70s and 80s. Don't know if she's still around. There is an Italian version of Me & bobby McGee on this album, though)
