Duke and Duchess of York

I saw the media coverage of one of the brats birthday or some such. Usual dross about conspicuous consumption, how much was spent and didn’t whatsername look pretty, and who was the dress designer, blah, blah, blah

Really, really boring trivial story. The stuff of tabloids and celeb magazines. There are richer people than this lot. Uglier people, and certainly more evil, grasping and sinister people, but for some reason, (don’t ask me why?) it put me in mind of Marie Antoinette.
