Prince Philip: The dry wit of the Duke of Edinburgh on video

Prince Philip, who died on April 9, aged 99, was renowned for his dry wit and sense of humour. Here, we celebrate the Duke of Edinburgh’s best jokes on video from over the years.

The Duke was known for often making light of the royal engagements he undertook with his deadpan humour, which often would catch people off guard.

Royal reporters often assigned someone to be on "Philip watch" - meaning someone who looked out for any remarks or standout moments whenever the Duke of Edinburgh was present.

Over the course of more than 22,000 engagements and 5,000 speeches, the Queen's consort established himself as one of the hardest-working members of the Royal Family.
