No.1 in an interminable series
Prince Charles, Chief Grand Commander of the Side-Order of Linguini, Great Master and First Dibs on Her Majesty’s Privy.
During the recent celebration of Pastover Prince Charles and his son, William, were photographed visiting ‘Jamie’s Pukka Pasta Palace’, in Birmingham, for the family’s customary ‘grog and bowl’ ceremony.
On exiting from the taxi cab, Charles was honoured by a gentle touch from the Angel Hair Pasta as it floated by.
William, seemingly upset that the Angel had not similarly graced his own noggin, threw down his cap in temper. However, after 14 pints of Cap′n Mosey’s Strong Black Ale (specially brewed for the Royal family) he was much mollified and laughed aloud at the antics of the Darwin stripogram. The evening ended with lusty singing of sea shanties, the Passing of the Eye-patch, and a reading from the Codex Vermicelli.
Editors Uniform notes
Fashionistas will recognise the traditional sauce-robes with quick-release lanyard. Both men are, of course, wearing the official pirate hat and the Croxetti Fiori chains (presented to Henry VIII in 1509)
In a slight departure from custom the Princes were sporting large badges with the motto “Honi soit qui mal y pense”, which is roughly translated as “Any idea what’s wrong with my 'pencil'?”
It is believed that this is worn as a tribute to the late prophet and moonwalker Michael Jackson. The motto, as you will know, appears on the gates of Neverland.
