Prince Harry Spotted At PDC World Championship Of Darts: Photos And Debate
THE PDC World Championship of darts is proud to support Prince Harry. Prince Baseball Cap was with former England rugby player Will Greenwood at Alexandra Palace, London. This is one of the few palaces granny doesn’t own, but giving the austerity measures and lack of security about her Kensington pile she will contemplate a move for grimy north London once the smell of cheese nachos has expired.
Meanwhile, the conversation turns to whether or not spotting Prince Harry in public qualifies it as an actual sport? We say it does. It’s a sport if you want it to be one.

Royal Family Christmas Photos: Prince Edward Gets Useful
SO. There they were, the Earl and Countess of Wessex – the Weed In Tweed and the former topless stunna. You can wait an entire year to see Eddie. And then, as if by magic, he’s there. It was the Christmas Day service at St Mary Magdalene Church, on the royal estate at Sandringham in Norfolk. Sophie Wessex wore a small plum duff on her head, which due to the hot lights of the photographers flashbulbs, began to slide. But no worries. Eddie, armed with his trademark silver spoon, would step in to avert disaster…

Kate Middleton Does Teenage Cancer Like Prince Diana: Photos
PRINCE William and Kate Middleton arrived together for a Christmas Spectacular and Reception in aid of Teenager Cancer Trust at the Thursford Collection, Thursford, Norfolk. A cue, then, for the BBC news’s mawkish, whispering, creepy Nicholas Witchell to front a report into how Princess Diana was linked to the same charity, wore her hair in a bun, had a school friend called Kate and was a great friend and cause of comfort to sufferers of ingrown toenails.

Prince Charles And Sophie Okonedo Bring Much Drama To The Palace
PRINCE Charles passed the day with the Royal investitures. Chief among them was actress Sophie Okonedo, now Sophie Okonedo OBE. When Charles gave it to her, she dropped it. Then she picked it up. It’s what passes for drama when Charles isn’t doing an impression of Bugsy Malone in his big car…

Hurrah For The Students: Prince Charles And Camilla Make For A Unifying Target
THE student protests against a rise in university fees have been reduced in the mainstream media to a fight between the violent minority and the police.
The other big thread is that the Rolls Royce carrying the hypocrite Prince Charles and his lady wife Camilla was attacked. (Did anti-warming campaign Charles having the car’s heating on while the window was wound down to take in the atmosphere?)
Had the Queen been in the car, we’d have cared. The country would have been split. Condemnation would be rife and moods foreboding. But Charles and Camilla do not excite much sympathy, do they?

Video Of Prince Charles And Camilla Being Attacked In Regent Street
HERE’S a video of Prince Charles and his fragrant wife Camilla being attacked by student fees protesters as they motor down Regent Street – their street – in central London.
Charles and Camilla are making their serene way to the theater, where they will watch the Royal Variety Show. (They missed Corrie live – and failed to see Molly (based on Camilla) telling her lover’s wife Sally (Diana) that she’d been shagging Kevin (Charles). Still, good night out – memorable, even…

Prince Charles And Police Intelligence: Students Outwit Soft Targets
STUDENTS outwitted Prince Charles and the police. This is a job akin to finding your arse with both hands. But, still, good to see that the students are brighter than the future head of state and the people who keep the streets safe.
Richard North adds:
ONE would like to think that those who attempted to trash Charlie’s car last night were protesting against his green idiocy. We can all dream, but that one would be more of a fantasy. Several things do emerge from the incident, however – not least that so unprepared was the Prince that he had to be warned to wind up his window to stop attackers throwing things inside the car.

Coronation Street Live Activists Try To Free Camilla And Charles From Night At Royal Variety Show: Photos
THE anti-Royal Variety Performance campaigners were not enough to save Prince Charles and Camilla from an evening spent with the N-Dubz, Mark Owen and comedy’s very own Mr Johnny Boden, Michael McIntyre. Says a spokesman for the masked activist network:
“We knew Coronation Street Live was on and that Camilla was a big fan. To see her hermetically sealed inside that mobile fish tank was a scandal and an outrage. We tried and tried to bust her out but it was no use. The glass was just too tough. Sorry, ma’am.”
Says Camilla:
“Never again. Please.”

Wikileaks: Queen Elizabeth And An Oman Honeymoon
LAST time we saw Sultan Qaboos bin Said of Oman, he was giving Queen Elizabeth 2 a golden egg, we thought her haul was pretty good.

She got Prince William’s wedding gift but lost out on the free honeymoon. Kicks up the Qaboos all round…

Wikileaks: Prince Andrew Went Hunting For Women After Brunch (Photos)
WIKILEAKS has not only managed to local Prince Andrew but made him appear to be newsworthy. The story goes that Tatiana Gfoeller, Washington’s ambassador to Kyrgyzstan, spotted Airmiles Andy at a brunch.
Indeed, readers. Shock of shocks that American cultural imperialism now includes brunch in Kyrgyzstan. (Toss out the yak butter and horse milk surprise and make mine a tall stack of pancakes with syrup and a banana smoothie.)
The ambassador says Randy Andy spoke “cockily” to a gathering of eating British and Canadian businessmen and “verged on the rude“.
Again, a shock. Andrew was only nearly rude. He didn’t look at the women’s chests the entire time. Blame it on jet lag.
One cables says that – ready for this? – Prince Andrew goes hunting!
Jordanian King Abdullah II is a close friend of UAE Armed Forces Chief of Staff Muhammad bin Zayid Al-Nahyan (MbZ). The two frequently hunt — in Morocco and Tanzania — joined, more often than not, by England’s Prince Andrew.
Hunting for women? Hope so. Andrew has worked tirelessly to gain a reputation as a gadabout womaniser. Charles hunts. Andrew shags. Edward is not gay. Anne has tweed knickers. It’s just the way it is.
So. Andrew is rude. But over at the Telegraph, towards the top of the story, we learn that the Duke treated her with “with cordiality and respect”. This fact seems to have escaped the Guardian. Might it be that in the rush for transparency and the quest for freedom of information different new organs see what they want to see? And then there is the issue of actually taking these cables at face value and not questioning if they could have been manipulated in the chain between leaker and publisher? Is Wikileaks just Popbitch for politics?
The edited cable, as reported in the Guardian, goes:
“Rude language à la British … [Andrew] turned to the general issue of promoting British economic interests abroad. He railed at British anticorruption investigators, who had had the ‘idiocy’ of almost scuttling the al-Yamama deal with Saudi Arabia.”
Gfoeller is super smart and able to speak six languages. In that extract she speaks two at once. You want clever – you can’t handle clever, mon brave.

Wikileaks – What’s the Duke of York done now?
Half a day on from Wikileaks’ latest barrage and there’s still no update on one of the juiciest stories that we were promised details on. The Guardian, who has had access to all the leaks, is still keeping mum about some inappropriate remarks made by a member of the British Royal Family.
Although he has plenty of rivals in the foot in mouth league tables in the house of Windsor it is widely predicted that the Royal being referred to is in fact Prince Andrew – or Airmiles Andy as he is known these days thanks to his love of the old foreign jaunt.
Andy has plenty of form in this area too previously taking the US govt to task for not listening to British views on Iraq – a move which breaks royal protocol over what dukes can and can’t say about foreign governments.
So what do you think he has done now? Had a go at the Americans over Afghanistan? Suggested that a few of our former colonies, like the US and Ireland, might be better off being ruled by HM govt? Come on Wikikleaks and The Guardian, let’s have it.

Queen Gets Kate Middleton And Williams’s Wedding Gift (It’s A Vase): Photos
QUEEN Elizabeth II was meeting the cubs at the Ambassador’s residence in Muscat, Oman. She then added to her haul of fancy goods by meeting with the Sultan of Oman, His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said.
He was good for a gold vase, a free meal and a gold musical Faberge-style egg. Is it by chance the Queen visits the showy Gulf states before Christmas and William’s wedding to Kate Middleton?
Elizabeth did not head to the Seychelles. In 1972 her top knobs gave her a collection of shells. Germany once gave her a pet canary. Canada offered two black beavers. New Zealand gave her a canoe. In 1994, Russian gave her a portrait of herself. Barack Obama gave her an iPod.

Susan Boyle To Sing At Kate Middleton And Prince William’s Wedding?
IS Susan Boyle to sing at Prince William and Kate Middleton wedding, adding a bit of actual spirituality to the quasi Catholic service?
Writes reader Percy:
I have heard rumour on Facebook that SuBo is to sing at Willy & Katy’s wedding….can Anorak confirm if this is true….and if so which song will SuBo sing?
PS – Maybe this can be Anorak’s next competition – A Right Royal Song & Gift Contest to decide which songs should be sung…and which gifts given for the upcoming event.
PPS – I’ll start the balls rolling:
Song: You Can Keep Your Hat On ..sung by SuBo.
Gift: A slightly used second hand copy of Das Krapital, by Roger Melly.
It’s an idea. Do you think it will work?
