Formalities


 Mission accomplished, he departed the chamber with handshakes and smiles. Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown but, thanks to some canny speechwriting and a book of quotations, the king had hopefully made his point without triggering a fiery tirade from the mad monarch on Truth Social.  The Guardian .  

Thank god we have a long history of kings, wars and nefarious ministers to fall back on for support.

And let us hope that the king and his queen gets back safely to England.  That photo above, proper English tea, sandwiches and scones with cream and jam, did it make a difference?  Did our slightly eccentric king make peace between our country and the US.  We'll see.

Funnily enough I have just been reading a Newscientist article on how  chimpanzees violent rupture hints at evolutionary roots of war. Well that explains something, not sure what though. 

Bless him. Trump I'm talking about this time, trying so hard to be nice to a 'real' king, did Melanie pour the tea, we, after all, know that the hostess is in charge of the teapot.  A rather unworthy thought did escape me though did they use Meghan Markle's jam on the scones that I saw advertised some time back, or was that a step too far, in reconciliation between a son and his father.  But I bet Camilla asked the age old question we always think of when faced with a scone, cream or jam first!
