   Well you would have to admit she lived an odd life William.   
      
      
   ------------------------------------------   
      
   She didn't have to.   
      
   She could have lived a life no odder than any other member of the royal   
   family.   
      
   You know,  endless free dinners,  hot and cold running servants,  a   
   bottomless supply of money and nice warm trips abroad for a couple of months   
   every winter.   
      
   All she'd have to do would be to lay a wreath snd open the odd hospital,   
   which,  as far as anyone can make out,  is what she objected to...   
      
   Anyone who claims she objected to her husband playing around doesn't know   
   anything about royalty...   
      
   That's what they do...

   I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.   
   Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland   
   I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate   
   All these moments will be lost in time,  like icecream on the beach   
   Time for tea.
