This is a very special day - HRH Prince Charles III has wed his betrothed, the Rt. Honorary HRH Princess Camilla Parker Knowles (see previous blogs). Chas and I had hoped to attend Their Holinesses Nuptuals in Winsor but were forbad by Vernon, a move I am sure he already regrets. Fortunately Sir Andrew Motions, the Queen's Limerickist, has composed a special poem. You can find it here and I suggest you have a family box of Kleenex by your side: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4427239.stm
Not to be outdone, Alycia Smith has penned her own tribute in the Tifton Gazette. I know which I prefer:
You are our Prince, She is your bride
Not all can say as much
We quiver at your every quirk
She shivers to your touch.
When you are old, and she old too
Who'll bear the crush of years?
Not many, I'll be bound to say,
But then, we're not your heirs.
O Prince of ours, 'tis not too late
To 'member Diana's hymn:
"There were always three in our marriage, you know -
Me and her and him."
My blog is two weeks old today!!! A double celebration indeed!!!!
