HRH Prince Charmless

Haw-Haw & Lucan of Piccadilly are visibly excited in their trousers to present perhaps the most collectibl­e plate ever created by human hand

-

An exquisite limited edition-style tribute to HRH the Duke of Edinburgh to mark his retirement after 70 years of selfless service to this country.

Steadfast as the White Cliffs of Dover

THROUGH seven turbulent decades, Prince Philip has stood by our Queen. Constant as a rock, he has been a faithful pillar of support for Her Majesty at state occasions and public engagement­s, standing with his arms behind his back, leaning slightly forward to bark rudely at ordinary members of the public who have queued up for hours for the chance to see him, and then walking off impatientl­y.

A Plate that Bespeaks of its own Quality

INDEED, over the years of his steadfast consortshi­p, his Royal Highness has been needlessly unpleasant to people from all corners of the world and every walk of life. From foreign heads of state to lowly members of the public, the young, the old and the disabled, he has treated people of all kiths, kins, creeds and nationalit­ies with the same needlessly pig ignorant lack of basic manners. And this unmatched record of tactless contumely/casual racism is just one of the aspects of his wonderful life that is celebrated in this beautiful collector’s plate, where

the Duke of HeartsTM is pictured with a representa­tive selection of the sorts of innocent people that he has thoughtles­sly offended throughout his royal career.

A Heirloom with True Heritage

BUT rudeness is just one aspect of The Rose of CorfuTM’s long and illustriou­s life. For perhaps his greatest love is wildlife, and he has long been a passionate and outspoken campaigner for endangered and rare animals. Indeed, on his many safari trips into the wilds of India and Africa, Philip has endangered rare animals of all sorts, including tigers, crocodiles, wild boar and elephants. In the foreground of the plate, beautifull­y rendered in profession­al-style oil paints by fine artist Oscar St Bernard, Prince Charmless is seen heading off with his trusty shotgun, ready to “bag” yet another species already teetering on the brink of extinction to add to his already groaning wall of trophies back at Buckingham Palace.

A Disburseme­nt in Perpetuity

AND now, just like the Duke of Edinburgh himself, you can “bag” yourself one of these rare and exotic collector plates to treasure during these, the last few pointless years of your life as you skitter helplessly towards the grave. What’s more, it won’t cost as much as you might think to welcome Prince Charmless into your home so you can enjoy dusting him every day in between doing the Daily Mail Sudoku and waiting for Tipping Point to come on. Priced at a mere £43.99 a day - approximat­ely the same cost as just ten really expensive cups of coffee or afternoon tea at Fortnum & Mason, there really has never been a more affordable way to pay for this particular bit of tat.
