I remember Diana's wedding -- because my mother watched it. I did not; I had no interest. Passing by her chair as she watched the proceedings, I heard my mother murmur three words I'll always remember: "The poor thing."

Meaning Diana, of course. "The poor thing."

I recall the story of Charles visiting the Czech Republic or Hungary and throwing a tantrum because his boiled egg sarnies did not have any Hellsman mayonaise. His flunkies carry Hellsmans wherever he travels, it was reported. Thus a Foreign Office type was flown out from London with the largest jar of Hellsman mayonaise that they could find - one seat for the flunkey, one for the jar of mayonaise. This is the man who would be king.
