He didn’t know his question was rude, but you can bet your bippy that if someone had asked him whether the loos at Buckingham Palace are equipped with bidets or just TP, all the protocol advisers would have fainted dead away. Amd that hapless questioner would have been pilloried in the MSM (not to mention here) as a boor, or worse.
