I loved

the Queen receiving Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in her drawing room, complete with its two-bar electric fire.

Bet Princey has never seen one of those before. He probably thought it was a device for grilling bread or warming corgi paws. did she perhaps have to explain to him what ‘corned beef legs’ are? one can only hope.

(For those southerners unaware of this expression, it means the unsightly mottled effect on legs which results from sitting too near electric fires, sometimes necessary in colder climates.)
