Royal Justice

Dedicated endurers of news about the royal family may recall that, as a consequence of his part in the Epstein-Maxwell-Giuffre scandal, his grace the Duke of York was relieved of his public responsibilities. Doubtless the punitive element in this was acutely perceptible to the Duke's refined aristocratic sensibilities; and his latest little indiscretion is set to bear similarly bitter fruit. His alleged involvement with an agent of the Heathen Chinee means that the his grace will not have to attend the Firm's pre-Christmas bloater, thereby inflicting a further excruciating reduction upon his annual tedium quota. Meanwhile, the Heathen Chinee themselves have strongly denied expecting to find intelligence in the House of Windsor.
