Ask me the name of the Norwegian king who was the first to bring
an army to invade England
in 1066, and I’ll tell you it was Harald Hardrada without hesitation. But ask me
the name of Prince William’s two children, who are 3rd and 4th
in line to the present British throne, and I wouldn’t have a clue.
I’d lay a fair bet that no more than 1% (if that) of the British
population knows the name of Harald Hardrada. I’m part of the 1% (or less) who
doesn’t know the names of William’s kids.
This must say something about my sense of priorities. I
suspect it has something to do with the fact that people get all simpering and
jolly about royal sprogs, which leads me to suspect that the kids have been
lifted by a secret arm of the Establishment from some sprog bank somewhere in
order to hypnotise the population into thinking that they’re really quite happy
with the status quo after all.
