Philip’s pithy comment captured his sharp wit and is just of many reminisces that will be aired in the BBC One which will air on Wednesday night.

In another funny reminiscence, Prince William talks about being with Philip on the Balmoral estate when the elder stopped the car to talk to a group of walkers. William recalled, “He stopped and wound down his window and said, ‘Good morning. How are you getting on?’ To which the smallest young chap at the back turned round and effectively said, ‘Jog on Grandpa!’” Philip simply rolled the window back up and told William, “The youth of today!”
