Our new king is a Shakespeare buff, so quite familiar with the famous line spoken by Francisco on the ramparts at Elsinore at the beginning of Hamlet: ‘For this relief, much thanks.’
This line was repeated by quite a few of us oldies lucky enough to be invited to the Coronation as we arrived at Westminster Abbey and found the ancient building almost surrounded by portaloos.
There had been a rumour that ‘facilities’ would be in short supply at the royal called me to ask if I would contribute a feature they were hoping to headline ‘The Royal Wee’.
