Shown his portrait by artist Stuart Pearson Wright, Prince Philip exclaimed: ‘Gadzooks!’ – a word that has not been in normal usage for nearly two hundred years. It means ‘God’s hooks,’ that is, the nails that pinned Christ to the cross. Asked if the painting was a good likeness, the prince said: ‘I bloody well hope not… As long as I don’t have to have it on the wall.’ He was depicted bare-chested with a fly on his shoulder and watercress sprouting from his index finger. ‘Why have you given me a great schonk?’ he demanded. The Sunday Times commented: ‘Uncanny, isn’t it, that when you paint a picture of Prince Philip, the insults just seem to follow you around the room?’
