He also talks bollocks, when he hasn't the help of the royal spin doctor.

I'd suggest that if he gave up living on the income provided by his tenant
farmers in the Duchy of Cornwall and instead lived off the profits of his
organic garden on his estate, he might be more in touch with the real world.

Nothing, he denied it.

What has he said about food or anything else for that matter that is at all
original or worth GBP15million/annum of tenant farmers rents?

Isn't he several Generals, Admirals and Air Marshals?
