00:00 The royal family is known for being a very correct family, seeming perfect on the outside
00:06 for the public.
00:07 However, every now and then, we get a glimpse into details of their private life and we
00:12 notice that they are not too different from us in certain aspects.
00:17 One of them is actually quite funny and has to do with the late Prince Philip.
00:22 During Hello's A Right Royal podcast, Julian Calder, a royal photographer, said she noticed
00:28 a well-known sex book on Philip's bookcase.
00:32 She goes on to build a scene, saying she was doing a portrait of the Prince in his office.
00:37 "I'm looking through the lens, I thought God just behind his right ear is a book, The
00:41 Joy of Sex, and I had to say, 'Prince Philip, should we move that?'
00:46 And he laughed and he got his equerry to come and move it."
00:50 The Joy of Sex is a 1972 illustrated manual by Alex Comfort with an updated version released
00:57 in 2008.
00:59 The book was a New York Times Bestseller for 11 weeks.
