LONDON (AP) — He may be married to Queen Elizabeth II, but Prince Philip has the same technological troubles as millions of commoners.

The 88-year-old prince has bemoaned the complexity of television remote controls, saying attempts to record programs often end up with him lying on the floor with a flashlight, a magnifying glass and an instruction manual.

The comments came in an interview posted Saturday on Buckingham Palace's official YouTube channel.

The prince was celebrating the 50th anniversary of a design prize named for him. He said that in some areas, like television, the quality of design remained "ghastly."

The Times newspaper quoted Philip in the same interview as saying "to work out how to operate a TV set you practically have to make love to the thing."

Someone get that man a custom install!

I think someone across the water from the Philips camp needs to get on this right away.

Get a footman to change the channel?

I think the real issue is that hes 88 and still a prince.

I doubt he's too worried about that.

A Philips remote thats fit for a king.. so i assume it will work for a prince..

Seriously, this is something Philips needs to do act on... before Logitech does. :-)

Seriously, you have to copy me without quoting? ;)
