Mark my words, Brother Dr. Toole, Sir, there will be complaints galore after tomorrow's televised funeral for said dead prince. The miserable royals have only gone and ruined all the fun by ensuring that Prince Wiwyum (as his name is pronounced by the great unwashed) and the 'Arry formerly known as Prince will be kept apart, with some random cousin placed as a buffer between them.
The British public is, quite rightly, outraged by this - er - outrage. People of all classes except ours have stocked up on champagne, beer, caviar and whatever snacks poor people eat and cleared their busy schedules ready for the big fight. There has been brisk betting on the outcome, though people would do better to tithe the money, bearing in mind Proverbs 16:33:
The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the LORD.
I understand that William was the favorite to flatten his brother, being slightly taller and having a cooler head (I mean that metaphorically, though he does also have even less hair). But others argue that one should not discount Harry's sheer toddler-like rage, plus his terror of his wife's displeasure should he lose, and are convinced that as the dirtier fighter he would win. However, it looks as though the bread and circuses have been withdrawn from the public.
My younger children are busy perfecting their pronunciation of Vive la révolution!
