Roll on the abolition... 

Prince William plans a military career... Good. I'd have hated for him to flout my expectations and become a peace activist. Plus, he might get shot.

What's annoying, though, is the way the BBC treats royal coverage as a licence to go into all the sort of stupid celeb-loving detail they're usually too 'high-brow' to cover (leaving it to the tabloids and Heat when it comes to normal celebrities):

Prince William joked with photographers... warning the assembled press: "Mind the cow pats"... He looked every inch the farmer as he posed for pictures in a green flat cap and wax jacket at Home Farm, close to Prince Charles's Highgrove home... [He and Prince Charles] then wandered into the middle of the docile brown and white cows with William letting one lick his hand.

Thrilling.
