Prince Charles and Mugabe

The officials at the Vatican apparently sat HRH Prince Charles a couple of seats away from President Mugabe at the Pope’s funeral the other day. The world leader everyone loves to hate (even the Catholic Archbishop from Zimbabwe was against Mugabe attending) gets to sit a few seats away from Charles. Then at some point in the ceremony everyone gets to shake hands and Mugabe sticks his hand out to Charles and Charles accepts it.. So on the eve of his wedding, Charles handed Mugabe a bit of a public relations bonus and left everyone in the UK thinking that Charles shouldn’t be allowed out alone. Not to worry, he had a lot on his mind, what with the wedding and all. The seating plan was probably laid out by someone in the Vatican who still bears a grudge from Henry the Eighth's days and wanted to lead Charlie into a trap.
