Here we have a news item out of a British newspaper:

Prince Philip mocked a teenage British Army cadet maimed by an Irish Republican Army bomb, the hero's mom charged -- setting off a storm of criticism of the royal family's perceived insensitivity.

Stephen Menary was just 14 when he lost his left arm and was nearly blinded. In 2002, Queen Elizabeth II asked him how much sight he had left. Philip broke in, joking, "Not a lot, judging by the tie he is wearing."
