http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-40728530 Terrible news - so the Daily Mash might have got it right then.... Prince William to set up PR agency PRINCE William is to quit the air ambulance (after taking a four month long training course which enabled him to fast-track the standard 2 year training span) and become a full-time public relations consultant. The strain of working a three day week "on call" has finally got to the Prince, who found that the struggle with being within a five mile radius of the helicopter base, combined with hereditary hair loss, became intolerable. The agency will be based in a very big house in central London The Prince has also spent seven gruelling years in the forces, only taking time off to do whatever he wants whenever he wants. Now Clarence House has confirmed that the second in line to the throne will set up a marketing and PR consultancy and has already secured a contract from one enormously wealthy organisation. A spokesman said: “William will take on the challenging role of brand and reputational management for one of the most high profile businesses in the world. “Windsor-Mountbatten PR will be a joined-up, full service agency that will control ‘the story’ to the client’s exacting specification. “It will deploy creative ideas, utilising the dynamic verticals of environmental conservation, charity work and gala attendance. “Working with an industry-leading team the Prince will generate positive, conversation-starting media coverage which will deliver tangible bottom-line results.” The spokesman added: “Much like Tom Hagen, the lawyer in The Godfather, he will have only one client.” It is understood the Prince will also specialise in crisis management should a senior member of the organisation get a blonde woman pregnant in the lavatory of a Chelsea nightclub.
In most cases, not even fecking English ones (currently a German and a Greek !!!) sack em all, idle scroungers all of em
The clue was in the assumption the royals work. It's difficult to get irony across in the written word. And to "sack the lot of em" would indeed imply they have a place of work from which to be sacked! I'm getting mixed feeling here Wayne.
