The Today Programme, Indeed

While guest-editing the Today programme, Mr Right Now, Prince Harry, presumably asked Barack Obama about his bombing of eight countries in eight years, specifically about his reintroduction of slave markets to Libya, and very specifically about what colour the slaves were.

Prince Harry could of course have interviewed anyone he liked. Donald Trump would probably have said yes, and George W. Bush would certainly have done so. The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh are personal friends of George and Barbara Bush.

But he opted for Obama because no one closer to the political position of the younger showbiz mates of the younger residents of Kensington Palace has yet been elected to the White House. Watch out for the guest list at the Royal Wedding. If there must be a Court Party, then we can more than live with the one that there is.
