"minor royals are sacrificed in order the bury bad news "
How beautifully J. G. Frazeish - wonder if the beat them to death with flails in a cornfield !!
Maybe the came could be adapted for Prime Ministers ?
Not sure how "minor" royal princes are considered
I woud have thought the real EMBARRASMENTS were more likely to be chosen for that honour and the lesser ones kept aside for marrying whenever the country is in crisis and needs a diversion
