Mis-guided use of creativity

Whilst I normally completely and utterly disapprove of [whatever the correct acronym is for] fic "starring" real people*, Princes William and Harry meet Lord Peter Wimsey's orphaned niece Lady Sheila has to be read to be believed.

William and Harry were watching the telly... or, rather, they were trying to.
Their father’s best friend since forever- Gerald Wimsey, the Duke of Denver- was visiting, and the two men were conversing in tones the boys found much to loud. How on earth were they supposed to appreciate the quality of premium cable if they couldn’t hear it?! Why couldn’t Charles and Gerald go into another room?!
It was an outrage!
“Dad.” William called testily. “Could you please keep it down?”


I should add that the portraits of the lead characters are considerably more flattering than those in the average red top. Nary an ill-chosen fancy dress uniform in sight.

*[livejournal.com profile] gramarye1971’s political Black Ops vignettes notwithstanding, and they can count as satire anyway ;-)

Glad you liked it! Thought to update my icon list, and this seemed about perfect.

Well, along with this one :)
