Romilly Weeks, a journalist for Britain’s ITN news, was presenting a piece to camera from the Maltese capital of Valletta about the prince’s diamond wedding anniversary celebrations with his wife Queen Elizabeth when Philip
walked past.
The 86-year-royal – who was greeting well-wishers on the Mediterranean island – waited for her to finish and then bellowed: “Finished?”
His remark caused the presenter to jump and the royal to burst into fits of laughter.
The Duke of Edinburgh – who is famous for his frequent blunders and wicked sense of humour – was in Malta with his wife of 60 years, to relive memories of when they lived on the island as a young married couple when he was completing his navy duties.

visit.
