mirth amongst misery

So, I read the funniest thing EVER yesterday. Well, maybe not EVER, but it was a very funny thing, which allowed laughter to blossom from my belly. Of course, when I say funniest I do actually mean most ridiculous. There's a chap in Australia who is of the belief that he's the son of Charlie and Cammie, that most chav-like of couples who got together as teenagers and had a baby. Surely you remember the headlines? Charles has sprog! screeched The Mail Online. She who can never be queen gives birth to Charles' heir muttered The Guardian. Elizabeth and Phil introduce the new foal in their stable, smiled Hello Magazine. Okay, well stranger things have happened. It is a plausible tale. However, the ridiculous comes from the fact that he claims Camilla brought him up till he was eighteen months old and then he was adopted by a couple who had ties to people who worked at Buckingham Palace. It is indeed truth that his grandparents worked at the palace. Early in the article he claimed that Prince Phillip was always telling him that he was Charles and Camilla's son. It would appear that the grandchildren of staff are allowed to wander aimlessly through the palace when the royal family are at home? Later this changed to his grandmother always telling him. Well, I think we can see from whom he got the deluded genes. His case is continually being thrown out of the High Court and he says this is proof; no DNA testing allowed and so it MUST be TRUE. Because it would definitely be easy to hide the truth, yes? Unmarried teenager who's been romantically linked to a young Charles, heir to the throne, not only gives birth to a baby but also brings him up for eighteen months. Journalists were rubbish at their jobs in the swinging sixties, obviously. It's the biggest conspiracy since Phillip ordered the murder of Lady Di, I kid you not! Honestly, what rocks do these people crawl from? But, thanks for the laughter, Mr Deluded!
