Royal Air Force: Princes Andrew And Eddie Venture Forth
THE tabloid rule dictates that pictures of Prince Andrew should feature him with head rolled back and teeth bared in a bray.
Wherever possible, a four iron or putter should be inserted between said teeth.
The putter is out of shot, but the Mail captures Andrew in the mode as he prepares to board a flight to America. For his tour of the former colonies, Andrew will have at his service a 12-seater plane, available at a cost to the British taxpayer of £100,000.
Says his spokesman: “Given the number of engagements this is the only way of doing it.”
But surely, we could find a cheaper solution. Why not send both Andrew and his brother Edward on the trip and so cut down on the expense of a plane?
