Official: Philip is not a fool

[Charles Brown]

Seems to me the sinister, deeper message is something like "see, we even say the Royal family has genes for lower intelligence in its history. So, the notion of genetic determination of intelligence is not elitist or racist, otherwise why would we say it impacts the Royals ?"

Leaving aside the false theory of genetic determination of intelligence  for a moment, if these Royals were so unintelligent, why are they worthy of being more privileged and admired than everyone else ? 

What convuluted stupidity (speaking of intelligence) ?

HE may be tactless, but he is not stupid. Geneticists have discovered that 
the Duke of Edinburgh has narrowly escaped inheriting a gene associated with 
lower intelligence. 
The mutated gene is, however, common among many of his relatives in the 
European royal houses. It was carried by the Queen's grandfather, King George 
V.
