“He was also unusually particular about his gardens at Highgrove. Because he refused to use pesticides, he employed four gardeners who would lie, nose-down, on a trailer pulled by a slow-moving Land Rover to pluck out weeds.”

.................please explain?

Imagine the lifestyle that might have ensued had Charles married his idol, Barbra. (They dated briefly in the early 70s and have remained friends ever since). The mind reels (though, in fairness, she’s always earned her own millions, unlike him)

I believe I heard once that the royals do this so no one will be able to flog a toilet seat they’ve used, which frankly makes some sense to me. Yes, it’s tawdry and a bit gross when someone could try to get £20 for a used napkin with your lipstick stain on it, but there’s something particularly unsettling about…

I am currently making shamrock cookies. They are cooling so I can ice them.
