The Duke still has a way with words...

[Llamaman]

If in his position he can do as he pleases then there is no hope for anyone.

I agree, which is why we have Magna Carta. I think you may have missed a word

Oops yes I did miss a word...I meant can not...

He's got one simple job - behave in a manner which reflects well on his family and his adopted country. He fails.

He's a 90 year old man who doesn't enjoy the best of health, and who still puts in more hours per month than a good many of his wife's subjects.

I'm certainly prepared to forgive his occassional gaffes.

He'd obviously been to Chadwell Heath before, or had a good look on his journey there.

Or was having a jokey exchange with one of the women involved as he sampled a sponge cake... (BTW, the original link above doesn't seem to work now but a google for doe chadwell heath gaffe finds several other sources.)

He was having a gaffe, but he wouldn't be far wrong in a lot of areas of Chadwell Heath.
