Unlike Harry (T that is, not the prince of the same name), I'm afraid I'm no royalist. In fact, I still strongly object to the current queen being accepted as Queen Elizabeth II in Scotland where we never had a Queen Elizabeth I.
I'm inclined to agree with Christopher Hitchens who feels it might be misguided to take seriously an institution that lives by the family values of Henry VIII.
This engagement announcement means no more to me than the hype surrounding the lovelife of one obscure film star and another (which is zero).
The pair are not friends , neighbours or family of mine. So it's none of my business and I don't want to know.
Mind you, I've never had a king or a prince named after me like Harry has.
Hoots. Neil
