Chuck Windsor: “I’m too sexy for my kecks”
Francis Sedgemore, Friday 14 November 2008 at 13:10 UTC
Today the people of Britain join in glorious celebration, for it is the 60th birthday of Charles Saxe-Coburg-und-Gotha, the Prince of Wales and our most handsome Future King.
“A string of events have been planned to honour him, and an official portrait has been released to mark the occasion.”
This evening there shall be impromptu street parties across the land, with organic cakes and ale aplenty, and sugar-free pop for the youngsters, all courtesy of the Duchy of Cornwall and House of Windsor. And do not forget the glowing tributes to our national hero from the Beeb, Daily Wail, Torygraph, Grauniad and numerous other organs of information and light entertainment.

I’m not especially a royalist but, call me soft, I’ve always liked Charlie – he loves that Camilla and he’s a Goon Show fan. That’s good enough for me.

You’re soft.

I know! :-)

I’d respect him more if he annexed Cornwall to Wales. Its ass belongs to him, after all.

Jesus wept! Have all my online friends gone a bit Bodmin?

Just another Saxon Duke pretender (but his strawberry and mint cordial is nice if a tad expensive.) Damn. I tried to give him all the barrels of a Jacobite curse and even I ended up being a bit soft on him.

With all the sogginess displayed here, the royals are safe for another generation at least. I’m most disappointed.

When it all comes down to it, he’s basically just a grocer on the make, isn’t he? With his Duchy Originals he’s a bit like that character from Notting Hill in the recent Harry n Paul show, selling overpriced tat to the trustafarians. He should give up thinking about thrones and stuff like that and set up the really organic alternative to Waitrose. He’d get to be even richer than his mum that way.

But Mike, he so wants to contribute something, to lead. The grocing is just to show the world that he’s not sitting on his lardy arse in the interim.

I think he should realise that the strawberry and mint cordial is the finest contribution he’s going to make to the world, and leave it at that. I haven’t invented anything quite so tasty in my lifetime. He should be proud. (Or rather, maybe the person who really invented should be.)
