Without the royals, whatever would the fine china people do for excuses to issue "collectible" dust-catchers?

The amount of royalty-themed crockery in Canadian china cabinets is impossible to estimate, but I'll bet that, if laid edge to edge, the Chuck 'n' Di plates alone would circle the earth half a dozen times.

Mind you, as a card-carrying citizen of this Dominion (my first passport even identified me as a British subject!) I consider myself entitled to take my morning arthritis pill with tap water sipped from an official Edward VIII coronation beaker. It's heritage, doncha know.
