One for Harry
Given money and a respectable position in life you had to do openly something that defied openly the social laws before you could step into a free world, and the free world into which you stepped by any such action was not free at all. It was dreadfully limited, ugly in fact, the kind of world inhabited by—well, say, by movie actresses.

I've just been reading an UnHerd article about the poor ginger sap, and that quote could have been lifted as it stands!
Seems he's done all that, and been found wanting!
Seems also that his mrs wants him to become the US's First Prince' as well!
KC3 won't be best pleased I'll wager!
Sam and Scrobs - he comes across as dull too, which may cause a rift with his wife eventually. The years won't be kind to him.
The Sap formally known as Prince. Sort of anti fairy tale. MeAgain kisses/shags the dashing, handsome, free spirit Prince and turns him into a .....wimp?
Doonhamer - yes she has turned him into a wimp and he seems to like it.
