Prince Charles is invited to open a new Hospital ward at Cleckhuddersfax. On the great day his Rolls Royce arrives and he gets out to meet the Mayor and local big-wigs. On his head he is wearing a red fur hat with a tail down the back - he looks like Davy Crockett.
Of course no one mentions it so Prince Charles cuts ribbons, unveils plaques and makes his speech - all with the fur hat perched on his head. when he gets back on the Rolls to go home his bodyguard finally says.
“Excuse me Sir, but is there a reason for you wearing the fur hat to today’s ceremony”
Prince Charles replies
“Actually one is wearing the hat because one was told to. This morning we all gathered to breakfast with HM - Her Majesty!. She went round the table asking what we were all doing today”.
Andrew said he was launching a destroyer at Plymouth Dockyard, and HM said,
“Wear full dress uniform”
Anne said she was riding in Burleigh Horse Trials, and HM said ,
“Wear a hard hat and jodphurs”
I said I was opening a hospital in Cleckhuddersfax, and HM said,
‘Wear the fox hat’
