When the royal family gets to the point where they practically welcome the presence of Prince Andrew to tide them over a shortage of Windsors, you know they’ve got a problem. And so it was at the memorial service last week at Windsor for King Constantine, former King of Greece. In the congregation there was one king, three queens, two crown prince/esses, 13 ordinary princesses, nine princes and too many dukes to count. But there was a dearth of royals on the home team: Prince Andrew, who led the group to the chapel with his ex-wife; Princess Anne with her husband and, of course, Camilla, whom
I can’t bring myself to describe as the Queen because that still conjures up the late Queen Elizabeth II.
