Little Louis’s scandalous jokes included pushing next to the queen on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, grimacing and waving the crowds with enthusiasm. Charles made the revelations to his longtime friend, TV star and writer Gyles Brandreth. The prince said he was “happy” with the way the festivities went when they met last Sunday morning, after the special concert in honor of the Queen. The heir to the throne had dedicated his “mummy” to a warm speech, as he thanked her for “being there for us” when he spoke to the 22,000 audience at the BBC’s Platinum Party at the Palace and to the millions watching television. The highlight was a short sketch in which Paddington Bear came with the Queen for afternoon tea and was happy that they were both sharing their love of jam sandwiches. Speaking on the Commonwealth Poetry podcast, which he co-hosts with Aphra’s daughter, which begins today, Gyles said of his conversation with Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall: “He was in good shape.” “We all agreed on how brilliant the Queen and Paddington were.” “We all agreed that the Queen and Paddington at one end of the spectrum stole the show and at the other it was Prince Louis who stole the show. It was before the fun parade and they had fun with my corgi jumper. [the event] was going.” “I congratulated the Prince on his speech and we agreed that the queen was wonderful – everyone loved this movie, it’s so much fun.” “They said they did not know anything about it until it happened.” Every fortnight Gyles and Aphra will take a virtual tour of the 54 Commonwealth nations exploring poetry, heritage and people. For the first episode, in the United Kingdom, with them the Duchess of Cornwall and Dame Joanna Lumley in Clarence House Garden Room. Camilla talks about her travels in the Commonwealth and her favorite poets, such as Robert Burns, Ted Hughes and John Betjeman. Gyles revealed that, as some people find the idea of ​​poetry a bit prohibitive, he also finds the idea of ​​interviewing kings annoying. But Camilla put him – and students at the University of Chester who were there to record the podcast – comfortable. He said that as a child he had to learn poems from the heart, a skill he believes all young people should share. “You can have a small shop where you will have these poems for the rest of your life.” “There are times when you feel very sad or happy and you can find a poem to identify with your mood, happy or sad.” The podcasts will be available on iTunes and Spotify.
