Living in London

Well, we have arrived home to Kensington only to find that Charles has proposed to Camilla – the second proposal in 35 years! Apparently he also proposed in 1972, but went off to the Navy or something and she married someone else. Think of all the public angst that would have been avoided (or spent on someone else) if they had married then.

Anyway, in typical British fashion, the bookmakers have been busy takings bets on the colour of Camilla’s wedding outfit.

William Hill is offering odds of 33/1 against the future Duchess of Cornwall choosing a white dress, and make cream or natural the favourite at 1/3. Pink, pale blue and yellow are offered at 6/1, 8/1, and 10/1 respectively.

Particularly brave punters can also lay money at 66/1 on
her stepping out in a patriotic mix of red white and blue on April 8.

We wish them a long and happy union, and God Save the Queen if she should choose the red, white, and blue wedding dress!
