Prince Philip drops the F-bomb during royal photocall

Even British royalty can let a curse word slip every now and then, proving that yes, royals are just like us.

Prince Philip, Queen Elizabeth II's 94-year-old husband, was captured on video swearing at a photographer on Friday, according to British media reports.

Philip was at an event in central London to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain between the Royal Air Force and the German Luftwaffe in 1940 when he lost his cool.

"Just take the f***king picture!" a seemingly frustrated Philip is heard saying. The Telegraph posted the clip on its Facebook page:
