That's interesting, hedda, and hilarious! I was just wondering the other day if the royals get stuff pinched. A member of my family used to work at a hotel frequented by the rich and famous and had once seen a guest making off with a vase. He had asked her to put it back where it belonged, and she had coolly done so. Princess Anne had been a guest at one point and had apparently been very down to earth. Unlike some Arab dignitaries, who had demanded that their staff use a different entrance. |

I agree that Andrew is being treated unfairly and that there's hypocrisy involved. If he had known the guy was a spy, that's a different matter, but if he didn't, I can't see any reason why he should be pilloried for being targeted. The Chinese probably thought he was a weak link. It seems very unfair that he (and Fergie, apparently) should be banished from Christmas at Sandringham. I bet Charles has met a few unsavoury characters over the years. Maybe he should banish himself, and replace his Christmas message with the test card!
I'll never forget covering Charles opening a new village development in Sydney on behalf of a billionaire property developer.
Apart from following him around as he inspected a nice new terrace house and commented that the upstairs kitchen was a "wonderful idea"..he then had to go a newly constructed Town Hall and mingle with the local suburban town councilors as they jockeyed for photographs as Charles inspected some tedious Town maps on the walls.
I know one a couple of years later was done for fraud and receiving bribes.
Just imagine the dodgy people and crooks the Royals have met over the years?
I also attended a charity dinner for Andrew at the Sydney Monaco Consulate.
One guest was a prominent female bordello owner.
Remember HRH The Queen having to put up with the awful Ceaușescus at Buck House overnight and complaining they stole numerous items from their room ! |
