Which was not his attitude to his manservant’s ‘box’.
Geeklawyer has covered the story before. It seems that this is the first time in a century that a Royal has been blackmailed (though of course if it were successful how would one know?) Obviously it can’t be true because the victim is a married Royal with children; and anyway there can only be one Queen in the Royal Family.
It did seem a bit odd to Geeklawyer not to have the victim on the stand — one imagines that that would significantly damage the prospects of the accused being convicted. Still even if the prosecution can’t make a case perhaps the victim can? But he would need expert woodworking skills (please don’t use that as a clue to try and hunt down the identity of the royal involved 
)
isn’t it Charles? he always seemed to covet Diana’s heels, when they were first married.
There are rumours about Charles and one of his manservants: see the link above to my old blog post
Is woodworking a euphemism for a ‘stiffy’, GL?
I’ve always found it amusing when the middle classes refer to invitations on white card as ‘stiffies’. And then they put their stiffy on the mantle piece for all to see. I do wonder about the sanity of our country sometimes.
Well… off now to read a book in the vain hope that a veneer of civilisation will assist me.…
Ever eager for news — I did a Google search. One assumes, that one is allowed to do Google searches even in these credit-crunch times?
Apparently, the trial is set to last for 4–5 weeks.

Probably as plane as day to those of you who spend your days in the criminal courts.

Mary: I had no idea that Charles liked Diana’s heels. Good stuff — something we, the people of Rome, can identify with. Not into heels myself — but, if I had a Mrs Charon, I would certainly encourage her to feel free to ask me if I’d like to go to The Bollo in a Darth Vader outfit. Not every night, you understand.… the sight of someone dressed up as Darth Vader, drinking Rioja through a straw and grabbing wine bottles by the neck, might be just a bridge too far for some of the topers at that establishment.
Having spent some time with Ruthie in late January/early February I was given a rundown on several “characters” such as yourself dearest Charon. I somehow was given the impression that you’d look quite fetching in these http://www.ninewest.com/n/browse/product.s?productId=2939566&source=category&index=2&prodIndex=2&listSize=90&categoryId=2981827&codeName=NWJASLEY
Though maybe Geeklawyer could pull them off, with his hair fluttering in the wind.
You don’t mean hair in the singular of course.
It will be wonderful if the world is harmonious for both gay and straight people even lesbian, bisexual and transgender.As far as I know, many LGBT don’t mind ther straigh people coming to know their life. take those bisexual at Bimingle.com . They are kind to other straight people to. Welcome them to their lives.
Dear GL,
Could this be your last blog entry now that they’ve asked you go go back and run Italy again? Congratulations and all that, but don’t forsake us — this ranting by proxy facility has been most good for my blood pressure.
Sylvia Berlosconiti will do as good a job as he did before. But your ranting needs work: the last guy I pissed off DOSed the site into a black-hole and called the filth in on me. That’s what I called talented ranting. Of course he was an octogenarian nutjob — is that ageist?
Dear Sylvia
Don’t misunderstand me — I’ve been an addict of your splendid blog for a long while now and was merely meaning that your ranting saves me the bother of venting my own spleen
Anyway, with regards the DDOS attack I’ll take my lead from the 11/9 conspiricists and suggest that you clearly carried out the attack yourself as a shameless publicity stunt.
Hhmmm… wonder if said Royal will come out of his own closet eventually?
I wonder why they find the need to hide the (so-called) shame? It’s not as if previous Royals haven’t been caught with their pants around their ankles, doing naughty things, before, is it?
Anyway, there’s always Oprah!
Historically homsexuality was pretty much mandatory for all the royal houses: Queen Victoria was reputedly a minge muncher when she wasn’t tossing Scottish gamekeeper caber.
Of course while there is nothing wrong with being gay however much society advances that can be no excuse for being royal, it’s just unnatural and sick.
