By BaxterIt's hard to believe, but that chubby-cheeked little Balmoral boy, bouncing along bewilderingly in his mummy-pushed pram, is hitting 60 tomorrow. (Actually, it's already tomorrow in the U.K., so break out the noisemakers.)
But we cats admit we should have run a more flattering picture. Because thanks to a head's up from Tina Brown, today we've come across an amazingly prescient letter that the Prince of Wales wrote back in 2003.
"What is wrong with everyone nowadays?" the peevish Prince inquires. "Why do they all seem to think they are qualified to do things far beyond their... capabilities? ...People think they can all be pop stars, high court judges, brilliant T.V. personalities or infinitely more competent heads of state without ever putting in the necessary work or having natural ability."
My gosh, he's talking about Sarah Palin! Before any of us knew that Sarah Palin existed!
Now, that's a man fit to be King. Sir, we are impressed.
