We've got chickens



King and Queen host celebrity-packed dinner at Highgrove

The King and Queen were joined by celebrities at a black-tie dinner celebrating Italian cuisine and "slow food".

Among the guests for Charles and Camilla's event at Highgrove House were Victoria and David Beckham, Dame Helen Mirren and Stanley Tucci...

The Queen spoke ahead of the dinner with David and Victoria about life in the Cotswolds, which the former Manchester United midfielder said was "so beautiful".

He added: "We love it. We are very happy there. We've got chickens..." Camilla then interjected: "I've got chickens too!"



And a mixologist apparently.


The King also made a martini with Italian mixologist Alessandro Palazzi, laughing when the lemon almost went up his nose as he tried to take a sip.

Slow food, slow evening.

"Right, put your hand up if you've got chickens. OK, that's fine. Now eat up, and out you bloody well go!"

Sam - it sounds like a slow evening too, but typical Charles.

When I was a lad I was locked in the chook coop in a neighbour's back garden. I burst through the door and pursued the guilty party who, happily, tripped and broke his elbow.

God looks after mammals in chicken coops - as Mr Tod knows all too well.

dearieme - ah yes, Mr Tod. The last time I came across Mr Tod was while watching the Peter Rabbit TV series with Granddaughter. Now she plays online virtual reality games with school friends.
