Goodness, what an honour. Queen Gwen and I would be most delighted. I have heard about your son's friend, Andrew. Sounds like a rather tiresome, useless and frankly unsavoury character. In many respects, he might fit the bill for this forum but I understand that he and his like are not welcome. Rightly so.
The food sounds deliciously exotic, quite a change from the geese that I have obtained from some pretend French OAP whose skills in using translation apps surpass only his skills in speaking nonsense - in English, of course. (He doesn't know, so I'd thank you for your discretion, but in any case his geese seem almost happy to be put out of their misery as Cook dispatches them and for some reason, they have an unpleasant, gamey flavour).
As for the crowns, I'll gratefully accept - I won't deny the Court has fallen on hard times ever since our most valued assets - a pair of statues of the city founders - were dragged across the pleasure beach and off the pier, all because some chaps' great grandparents were apparently underpaid when building the palace. Not only are we down a tonne of gold, the helter-skelter got damaged and the mini canoes are completely out of use.
With sincere devotion,
KR & QG
