Prince Philip revealed in 2008 what he thought about the food prices going up in a televised interview with Sir Trevor McDonald. In ITV’s fly-on-the-wall documentary, “The Duke: A Portrait of Prince Philip”, the Queen’s husband talks openly about conservation, animal welfare and soaring food prices. The Duke said: “The food prices are going up – everyone thinks it’s to do with not enough food but it's really that demand is too great, [there are] too many people.

“It’s embarrassing and no one knows how to handle it because nobody wants their family life to be interfered with by Government."
The Duke says that “overpopulation is to blame for many of the problems afflicting millions of people around the world”.
In 1984, Prince Philip once called for "voluntary family limitations" while lamenting how human populations have reached "plague proportions".
In an uncovered interview titled “His Royal Virus Prince Philip”, Philip was asked by the interviewer for his views on what he thinks of the most serious issues faced by conservationists worldwide over the next 20 years.
