The 91-year-old royal consort this week accompanied the Queen, 86, to the Royal Variety Performance in London where the couple were treated to performances by artists including Kylie Minogue, Neil Diamond, One Direction and Alicia Keys.

After the event, hosted by Little Britain comedian David Walliams, Philip was asked which of the acts was his favourite.

"All of them ... but to be honest we're both stone deaf," came his reply.

During American singer Key's performance, Philip was spotted with his fingers in his ears, reported London's Evening Standard newspaper.

he deaf to most things all his life and it not his ears the problem
 
Prince Philip has always been a Character and rather outspoken. Being a Brit, I'll be quite sad when he finally topples off his perch.
(Although, to be honest, if I had to sit through a One Direction performance, I'd have my fingers in my ears as well :) )
 
Elizabeth's great grandmother Alexandra was deaf as were several in that family. It has a genetic component for them.

Oh really!! I didn't read about that! But her mother in law is deaf but her husband's mom is deaf I'm recent post that
 
Very interesting article. I did not know that Prince Phillip's mother had been deaf all of her life and to know that Princess Andrew were hidden from the world. I never read or knew any of this until now. Wow. I am very surprise about this. Thank you, Travis, for bring it out in the open about what is going on and why he said that about being stone deaf which mean he can not hear the tone of the music. He can hear what people say but when it come to music he and Queen Elizabeth were stone deaf. :)
