	According to the official website endorsed by Buckingham Palace, Philip's most successful initiative has been the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme launched in 1956.

	Prince Philip is also known, if not infamous, for his off-hand insulting remarks. One of the most classic examples can be found in the Prince telling British exchange students living in China not to stay to long, lest they should return "slitty-eyed" (Hough). In the same year of 1986 he reportedly also said that "if it has got four legs and it is not a chair, if it has got two wings and flies but is not an aeroplane and if it swims and it is not a submarine, the Cantonese will eat it" (ibid.). Another gaffe dating from 2002 (Leach) emerged when it was recounted on the Graham Norton Show by the mother of one of the recipients of the Prince's observational commentary: “My son was blind and the Queen asked him how much sight he had left and the Duke of Edinburgh said not a lot, judging by the tie he was wearing” ("Episode 10").		Prince Philip is also known, if not infamous, for his off-hand insulting remarks. One of the most classic examples can be found in the Prince telling British exchange students living in China not to stay too long, lest they should return "slitty-eyed" (Hough).

	Prince Philip's verbal missteps have made him somewhat of a cult figure to the public, with his quips generally seen as "memorable" (Hough) and euphemistically termed "unique advice" (ibid.). Stephen Menary, wearer of the offending tie, takes a rather sympathetic view: "I know he has a reputation for making seemingly offensive remarks but I don't think there's any malice in what he says. He meets people that are often very nervous about meeting him [...] and I think he just tries to put people at ease by trying to make a joke. I certainly didn't take any offence" (Leach).
