BBC Breakfast presenter Naga Munchetty was left with a sour taste this week while discussing one particularly messy prank Prince Philip played on his grandchildren.
Members of the Royal Family were looking back on their best memories of the Duke of Edinburgh for BBC documentary Prince Philip: The Royal Family Remembers – and one particular anecdote stuck out.
Prince William recalled in the documentary: “One of the games he used to enjoy playing was when we used to go for family barbecues.
“Instead of like a mustard pot we’d have a mustard tube, a squeezy mustard tube.
“He used to take the lid off and put it between your hands, and then squish your hands together and fire the mustard into the ceiling.”

The Duke of Cornwall admitted that the messy prank used to “get him in a lot of trouble” with his grandmother the Queen.
Elaborating, Prince William said: “He enjoyed those jokes, he enjoyed messing around with the children and being a grandfather.”
Zara Tindall admitted the prank never failed to result in a mess, as her brother Peter Phillips added: “I actually think the marks are still there!”

But Naga didn’t reckon the prank would do very well in her own household, as she quipped: “Messy, messy.
“I’m not sure that would’ve gone down too well in my house because my mum did like things very neat and tidy!”
She explained: “However it ran through and stuck in the minds of the children in the family.”
But it appeared Naga had one memory of a messy prank of her own, as she later wondered: “Isn’t there a similar one you could do with eggs?

“You pretend the eggs are boiled and you smash someone’s hands together. I’m sure there is.”
And it’s no wonder Naga doesn’t fancy having such a mess in her own house, as her swanky pad is a haven of style and sophistication.
Her living room is dominated by a cream leather couch and a glass coffee table, with white walls and plenty of decoration around the room to give it a homely feel.
In a sweet gesture to her husband James Haggar, Naga has a photo frame filled with the letters J&N made up of tiny photographs on a dresser in the lounge.
Naga also has at least three cats in the home she shares with her hubby, and they feature heavily on her Instagram – and are obviously adorable!
BBC Breakfast airs from 6am every day on BBC One.
