Panic at the soccer field disco.... Royal watching

 

Wow my under 9s team (with some ten year olds) really got trounced today. How badly?


Consider Rick from British comedy, the Young Ones, describing his team's defeat:

Might as well pivot to royal watching. I wouldn't generally go out of my way to do so. My siblings tell me Queen Elizabeth rolled by right in front of our house* in western Sydney when I was about six years old. I might have seen the motorcade but wouldn't remember it. Similarly if I'm around and about I might notice that kind of thing, regardless of my age. I've noticed the Prince of Wales (then) on a trip to Fiji was shown in photographs at a museum in Fiji speaking to Fijian soldiers of the British army. In those days Fiji was part of the Commonwealth and Fijians I think were all granted British citizenship even without joining the military. His majesty at this time was possibly a member of the British military himself, like his son later on, Harry.


I also noticed more recently some newly minted banknote presented to the King and the Prince of Wales attending a soccer game with his young son.
