My American friends just love the little lad, "Awwww that George is so cute!" so I feel justified in rushing to his defence over yesterday's drama on the Buckingham Palace balcony. The media have gone to town on how his cousin "stole the show", "shushing" him by clapping her hand over his mouth during the National Anthem. Well, am I the only one who saw the whole thing in context? George did not start it. He was not the first to be horsing around, making silly faces when the Anthem began. Oh dear, I am really becoming an old fogey but in my day, such disrespect would have merited instant retribution of the swift and clean sort. Too bad the Royals are so nice and modern. Such a gesture in front of the world's television cameras would have done wonders for the fightback against political correctness. But I'm clearly not in touch with the zeitgeist. Everyone else seems to think it was sweet. Who am I to judge?
