You only have to look at him, know his mannerisms and listen to his style of speech to somehow know he is a distant relative of King George II!!

[HolyCount]

Yet to watch that one -- got it on my sky box waiting.  Am cr*p at history -- Lizzie will no doubt know ...... was George 1 Hanovarian ? Therefore not really "British Royalty". He was, however, a Prince of the Holy Roman Empire .... therefore I bow before him !

Yes indeed HC, George I was a German House of Hanover import in 1714 who could not speak English.  Sir Robert Walpole became our first Prime Minister in 1721 to stabilise what had become a very difficult political situation with George losing interest in his Government due mainly to his lack of English speaking ability and the country never looked back.

Ah well -- Boris is only a "Pretender" then I prefer the Plantagenet bloodline meself  

[HolyCount]

Just a thought ---- the Hanovarian connection would go a long way to explaining Boris's eccentricities ( verging on insanity)
