Obnoxious and arrogant? He’s a bluff, no nonsence naval man of the old school, fearless, intelligent, inquisitive, practical, honest, generous, loyal, plain speaking, incisive and intolerant of bull****. The sort of man you would be glad to have with you in the jungle. Try to suck up to him or condescend and you’ll get short shrift. The antithesis of political correctness and a wonderful consort to the queen for the last 70 years.
