I have a nasty feeling that is precisely what he might have in mind.

I don't believe he will mention it at all.

I suppose the media are following him more keenly in the hope that he'll make a statement or let something slip.

It does annoy me that some of the less-glamorous members of the Royal Family do not get the same recognition of their duties as others. The Duchess of Cambridge goes shopping and its all over the tabloids, the Duchess of Gloucester does valuable work with charities and the only mention is in the Court Circular.

The Duchess of Cambridge is followed more than others because she's young and beautiful, in addition to being married to Prince William. Cynical, true, but realistic as well.

Hurrah! Prince Andrew has a namesake.
