  • Apart from saying that her and Philip are to be having a clear out on Ebay in 2009 , She will Cheer us all up with some jokes .!

    "Prince Charles had been told by his mother to clear out his
    garage as it was getting a trifle untidy and somewhat cluttered , and to get things ready for EBAY.

    So he decided to move all the royal cars out so as to create some space to work in..
    unfortunately as he reversed one of the Rolls Royce's he ran over one of his mothers treasured and beloved Corgis , it was completely flat !!

    Horrified , about what mother would say he decided to hide the unfortunate mutts body in a old chest of draws.

    Whilst in the garage ,, frantically rummaging around he disturbed on old lantern and to his surprise out popped a Genie
    !!

    The Genie spoke to him " I am the genie of the lamp, for your reward in saving me I grant you one wish "

    At this point Charlie grabbed the dogs stiff body and trust it towards the genie saying " For gawds sake do something with mothers baby pooch or i am done for !"

    The Genie took a long look at the dogs mortal remains
    before taking a breath and declaring
    " I am sorry this animal is much too far from being restored
    to its former life , perhaps some other task i could perform ? "

    Charles eyes light up ! and he reaches into his jacket pocket and produces his wallet , inside he pulls out a picture of his darling wife Camilla , and says in a rather hushed voice,

    " this is ones other half her names Camilla , but i feel she could do with a little pepping up somewhat in the beauty department ,what do you say ? "

    The genie looks horrified at what he sees in the photo,
    and declares " Let me have one more look at that corgi again !
    "
