Not a big fan of the Royal Family or, for that matter, the Royles, but I reluctantly warmed to the old boy himself, Prince Phillip, when watching a program on TV letting us know what they are for. In a candid moment amidst all the splendour of some Knights of the Garter ceremony he talked of how lunatic it actually all was with a faintly endearing smile but how the public and the tourists seemed to like it. He then went about his business - a reasonably down to earth sort of guy, quite normal actually. (Hmm? maybe Baldrick was on to something).
And then Charles - totally at home as a Milligan but you wouldn't want him in charge of the fleet (whatever colour it is). But then again I wish he'd spoken out loud when his 'alarming' gaffe was exposed muttering to what was a weaselly question from Nicholas Widgell (1)- talk about sucking up. Why can't people ask proper questions?
Bloody Hell! Even The Daily Star had a headline saying 'Off with their heads! They did of course mean drom stamps and other stuff but blimey all the same.
