Triumph Of Wills
‘ALL papers like to run a hoax story on April Fools day, but the usual form is to slip it inconspicuously into one of the news pages.
‘Hi, my name’s Wills. I’m a groovy kind of polo-playing kind of guy…’ |
Not the Sun, however. With typical audacity, theirs is plastered over the front page, with more on pages 2,3,4 and 5.
FINALLY… Wills gets a girl, it trumpets and, sure enough, theres a picture of the dashing young prince in the company of a genuine 100-per-cent anatomically-correct female human being.
Of course, it could all be faked with computers, so theyve even gone to the trouble of getting Sun Royal Photographer Arthur Edwards to pen a few words in order to lend an air of authenticity.
When I photographed Prince William on the slopes of Klosters, I knew there was something unusual about him, teases the veteran smudger. We now know why.
Yes, thats right – weve got a heterosexual heir to the throne, and the future of the House of Windsor is safe.
And even if none of it is true, its a dream that we can all enjoy on a lovely spring morning.’
