    I liked his comment quoted in the BBC article here:

    'At 90, Prince Philip said he was "winding down" his involvement with charities.
    ...
    "It's better to get out before you reach the sell-by date." '

    If you enjoy the often rude quips of HRH, you might look out for a slim little volume "The Wit of Prince Philip" as compiled by Peter Butler and published in 1965, "More Wit..." published in 1973 and his selected speaches published as "Prince Philip Speaks" in 1960.
