During the Pope’s tour of Edinburgh’s Palace of Holyroodhouse, the Duke noticed that many MSPs were wearing ties bearing a new tartan commissioned to mark the Pontiff’s visit.
Observing that Annabel Goldie, the Scottish Tory leader, was not wearing the tie, the Duke asked her: “Have you got a pair of knickers made out of this?â€
With that, the Duke moved onto the next MSP in the line, leaving Miss Goldie and Iain Gray, her Labour counterpart, trying to digest the bizarre exchange.
Miss Goldie later travelled to Bellahouston Park in Glasgow, where the Pontiff was due to deliver an open-air mass.
Those who travelled with the Scottish Tory leader, who is renowned for her witty ripostes and double entendres in the Scottish Parliament chamber, said she was in “fits of laughter†during the car journey.
After recovering from the encounter, she said: “It’s marvellous that humour is alive and well in the Royal Family.â€
A spokesman for Mr Gray said: “We do not comment on the Scottish Tory leader’s underwear.â€
Where are the Brits???? Have you heard the latest out of Phil The Greek????

The fastest way to illegitimize a historical gripe is to put out your hand and ask for money. Ask for change. And I don’t mean coins.
