All the smut that's fit to make up.

You would think they would be overjoyed and would publicize this immediately.

Royal British buggery? You don't say!

"This should never have been published!" a top newsroom source explained Friday evening.

Lyall reported: "No one would say what the rumor was. Not the British newspapers, which were writing long, innuendo-laced articles about it. Not the television commentators, who were discussing it with acrobatic opacity. Especially not Prince Charles, who seemed to be hoping it would just go away...

NYT NEWSROOM TURMOIL OVER PRINCE CHARLES GAY RUMOR
Fri Nov 07 2003 16:45:11 ET

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.

"This should never have been published!" a top newsroom source explained Friday evening.

Lyall reported: "No one would say what the rumor was. Not the British newspapers, which were writing long, innuendo-laced articles about it. Not the television commentators, who were discussing it with acrobatic opacity. Especially not Prince Charles, who seemed to be hoping it would just go away...

"The allegation (although no one has said so publicly) has to do with purported sexual contact between Prince Charles, the heir to the throne, and Michael Fawcett, one of his closest advisers."

Developing...

Was this the throne-shaking story the butler is supposed to be releasing? Good grief - British aristocrats have been buggering one another since Algore invented it in AD 100. I think it's kinda like a lodge initiation.

Well, I might have my history wrong there. It may have been earlier than that.

And to think that instead of being King, he really wanted to be Queen.

[TrebleRebel]

...or gay advisor.....

Hmmmm, what to do.....

[ladyinred]

Oh my, wondered if this was the case of the non story. Some are saying he watched as someone else was raped, but what I heard this morning made me think he was the culprit himself, hmmm!

[Maximilian]

This was the plot of a really great BBC mini-series "To Play the King." Was it based on reality?

I wonder if Queen Elizabeth will provide the same "solution" to this problem as the king in Bravehart did...

PRINCE CHARLES GAY RUMOR

Why would anyone think that?

[Republican Red]

Just this morning I was wishing for a diversion story for the media to pick up on. Kobe, Peterson and now Jessica are real old. I was wishing for something like a Hollywood liberal caught in a scandalous murder of their lover's spouse. Something to just let the mind take a break for awhile.

I got my wish when the Prince swished onto the scene.

How in the heck will they make this be the President's fault?

[Fifth Business]

Is he gay or just British? There's a subtle but important difference.

[texasbluebell]

Aack! What are they saying about me?

[CatoRenasci]

This sort of thing has been around a long time. Edward I's son was reported to be gay and was dealt with rather summarily with a hot poker.

That said, if this is true, Charles will never be king. And if the boys turn out to be buggerers too, that's the end of the German monarchy.
