"Are you still throwing spears at other tribes?" (to Ivan Brim, Djabugay Elder at Tjapukai Aboriginal Park, Australia 2002)
"How do you keep the natives off the booze long enough to get them to pass test?" (Asking a driving instructor in Oban, Scotland)

Angering local residents in Lockerbie when on a visit to the town in 1993, the Prince said to a man who lived in a road where 11 people had been killed by wreckage from the Pan Am jumbo jet: "People usually say that after a fire it is water damage that is the worst. We are still trying to dry out Windsor Castle."
