Recall that strange scene in Henry V about pride in wearing a leak for the Prince of Wales....


leek!


Gravatar He's wearing a spring onion? And this man has money to burn? I don't think I am getting the joke.


Gravatar Yes, it must have something to do with Prince Harry having turned a man. But he's wearing it wrong. It goes in the hat.:

"the Welshmen did good service in a
garden where leeks did grow, wearing leeks in their
Monmouth caps; which, your majesty know, to this
hour is an honourable badge of the service; and I do
believe your majesty takes no scorn to wear the leek
upon Saint Tavy's day."

King Henry V: "I wear it for a memorable honour;
For I am Welsh, you know, good countryman."


Gravatar I have always loved Charles in spite of his problems, because I remember hearing an interview with him as a young man when he said the person he would most like to meet and talk with in the whole world was Alexander Solzhenitzin.

He also served in the armed forces.
