It must partially have come back to me in the night!
Dotty had been accused of killing the Royal Corgi, but had been framed for the crime. It turned out to be Princess Anne's other bull terrier, Florence who was guilty of murder. Dotty had merely bitten an adult and savaged two small children. Princess Anne was fined 500 quid
and sent on a compulsory dog handling course.
S'pose thats why Tim Lawrence keeps so quiet, then !!

Under Prerogativa Regis signed in 1324 by Edward II the sovereign shall have all whales and sturgeon taken within the realm.
In medieval times (if ye histories be read correctly) it was the custom to cut all whales in two, the head going to the King and the tail to the Queen, the latter to furnish her with whalebone for her stays.
In 1970 HM was persuaded to give up her right to the whales and the Law Commission sent a recommendation to Parliament that the said prerogative be abolished.
Sound sensible but HM's Lords voted down the bill so HM still gets ye stinking whales.

Oooooh, er, I sense some off with the heading of some of her antipodean subjects when she finds out that whales that wash up on South Australian beaches are either floated back out to sea as shark food, or bought to the local poo plant for rapid removal of flesh, and the cleaned bones then assembled as museum exhibits or 'used for research purposes'.

The law is the law Mary, and I expect her to uphold it.
