NYT NEWSROOM TURMOIL OVER PRINCE CHARLES GAY RUMOR
Drudge Report ^ | 11/07/03 | Matt Drudge

Posted on 11/07/2003 1:43:48 PM PST by nickcarraway

Top editors at the NEW YORK TIMES panicked and ordered a story killed after London-based reporter Sarah Lyall filed a dispatch alleging rumors of Prince Charles and a sexual affair with one of his closest advisers!

The story appeared on the TIMES's internet website for 20 minutes -- before top editors ordered it immediately removed, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

Anything that puts the NY Times newsroom in turmoil is good imho. Here at FR where things really matter we seem to be taking it with the usual wit and aplomb.

Re the picture in post no. 44...

Why do the Brits have such bad teeth? Prince Charles' teeth look horrible!!! No dentists in Britain?

Pity they weren't that concerned with the facts when Bragg and Blair were working there. And Purdham and Lelyveld still are.

I just called my husband in here to see that photo. He died laughing. Sheesh! We paid out the bucks to fix my teeth with braces after we got married and two of our kids had braces. It is only about $100 a month. The royals can't afford that????

The whole population could stand dental work. If the royals fixed their teeth, they'd look continental and effete.
(For all we know, that IS dental work he's wearing!)

I guess there's really no need to improve the appearance if you're already one of the richest men in Britain.

Who does he need to impress?

Another angle of the tooth issue:

The Wonders of Socialized Medicine, the Horrors of British Teeth

..."Americans have long wondered why our English friends have such horrible teeth. Even the likes of Tony Blair and Prince Charles have choppers worthy of a Detroit crack addict or San Francisco vagrant."...

Sorry that some of the pics I've posted don't seem to be showing up. I just don't know how to determine ahead of time which ones will, once they're in my own cache of photos. Some sites don't allow linking but there doesn't seem to be a way to find out (at least not that I know about) ahead of time.

Anyway, here's a link to the one that's supposed to be at #113.

Let me guess....Charles had a brief fling with the Indian from the singing group Village People.

Was this the throne-shaking story the butler is supposed to be releasing?

If you're referring to the butler's book, no, there's nothing about this in the book.

That would more likely be Prince Edward.

Prince Charles is gay? Now it makes sense that he left Diana for that rottweiler-faced Camilla.

is this the incident where Charles forced a servant to hold a cup while he peed into it for a drug test? Hmmm.

a sexual affair with one of his closest advisers

Was that closest advisers or closet advisers?

See #139. I was too lazy to scroll through all the comments to see if someone else had picked up on this. I should have known that my wickedly astute fellow FReepers would not have missed this hanging curve ball!
