Not the best start to the day, if one’s honest. Sat down to breakfast at Balmoral to find a blurred out but naked Prince Harry staring back at one in the press.
Nearly choked on one’s bacon and egg sandwich! Naked. And, more to the point, in Las Vegas! Didn’t dare mention it to the DoE – it’d be more than his bladder could take.
If one has said it once, one has said it a million times: just because nudity is the norm when it comes to Royal BBQs, doesn’t mean that it’s acceptable in Las Vegas hotel rooms, and certainly not in the press. There is only one set of crown jewels that should be seen in public on a regular basis and they’re made from diamonds.
“Hardly had time to think when Andrew called to say that he was considering abseiling down the Shard in the nude to generate some press coverage”
Really, how much is one Queen expected to put up with? If it’s not the Government “accidentally borrowing several hundred million pounds last month” it’s one’s grandson playing pool in the nude in a Las Vegas hotel room.
Hardly had time to think when Andrew called to say that he was considering abseiling down the Shard in the nude to generate some press coverage. Wondered for a moment about agreeing, if only for the look on Boris Johnson’s face, but came to one’s senses and told him he’d be hanging from the Shard by his honourable member if he weren’t properly covered up.
As if that wasn’t bad enough, Mrs “we’re all family, I do wish you’d call me Carole” Middleton called to say she and Mr Middleton had booked a caravan in a naturist resort in Bognor Regis and would the DoE and I like to join her. Accidentally agreed just to get her off the phone.
