And This is One's Medal for Having One's Trousers Pressed

Prince Charles in his Welsh Guards uniform.

One blog I read this afternoon called the Royal Family "benefit scroungers." A bit stronger than I was hinting at earlier, but I do get mixed feelings on these occasions.

No doubt my children will all label me "gaaay" but I have to say that Kate Middleton's dress met with my approval. Very plain, almost old-fashioned (one talking head on the Beeb said it was "medieval") yet with the lace arms etc. -- all very good.

I do wonder though what all the medals so many of the royals wear are actually for. Making one's own tea? Arranging the servants? Night clubbing? Cheating on one's wife?

Pip pip.
