Mis-guided use of creativity

[nineveh_uk]

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.

*gramarye1971’s political Black Ops vignettes notwithstanding, and they can count as satire anyway ;-)

I don't think I can bear to read the original, but the idea certainly made me laugh...

I can just imagine Lord Peter being so politely satirical about the dodgy Windsors and their ramshackle love-lives...
