Off the topic of the royals, a small story to share...
This going back quite a number of years. A friend from home in Australia, whose family keeps a world renowned horse stud, wanted to travel and in England secured a place at a stately home there. The aristocratic family she worked for, treated her exceptionally well and made her part of their family. Everything went well, her work as a trainer, strapper and general horse related factotum held her in high regard with the family who treated her beautifully. They were truly kind, generous and warm towards her... until Prince Charles came to stay for several weeks. There was an immediate change in attitude with Charles questioning why on Earth the family should have included a "servant" and an Australian one at that in their families lives. Didn't they know better? When first introduced, the Aussie was told by Charles that 'Oh no, one did not include a person from the colonies in family routines. Those ex-convicts were to learn their place and it wasn't in the great hall, but in the stables where she, as an Australian (oh horror of horrors one of Irish extraction) belonged in her proper place mucking out horse tit.' Were he joking, it was not apparent but deeply hurtful. The family followed suit, sycophanticly agreeing with the PoW and her time at this stately manor came to an abrupt end when she could no longer endure his insults. She'd kept her mouth shut but packed and left, and leaving no word, returned to Oz. Since that time her families horse stud has refused every request from the crown to supply horses to their stables. The Queen was told why this was happening and allegedly tore bloody strips off her princeling son for loosing her 100s of 1000s of £ in business. The crown was ghosted. The Aussie horse trainers and stud farmers turned their attentions to the princely Arabian peninsula states and went on to gain enormous respect and wealth for their involvement in developing richly viable stud farms there; and cheers to them for essentially giving Charles the finger for the way their daughter was treated.
