Encounters with RoyaltyMy good friend Jonathan once had to entertain the Queen whilst she had her portrait painted. The night before he was panicking as he didn't know any clean jokes.
Have you met someone royal? Are you royal? We'd like your story...

Duke Of EdinburghI've just done my D of E Gold. After the lamentable experience of traipsing over the soggy Welsh landscape, helping snotty little kids, and doing some useless skill, I have been forced by my mum to attend the awards ceremony. Apparently this means I have to meet Prince Phillip. Suggestions as to what to do/say to the wrinkly old institutionally racist sponge are welcome.
Oh, and apparently I'm descended from an ancient Chinese emperor on my mother's side. Very distant, and that was in the days when emeperors were two a penny, or Ren Men Bi, or whatever they used.
Also, you know that thing they featured on HIGNFY that tells you how posh your surname is? www.spatial-literacy.org/UCLnames/Surnames.aspx
My name was 8. That means only 8 percent of people in the country have a posher surname than me. Kneel, peons.
