Ever heard of the British (Scottish? Irish? Welch?) band, “The Housemartins”? They have some great songs about British political satire…like the people who grinned themselves to death for smiling for their beloved queen whilst they were all starving. Anyway, one song says the following:
“From Queen Wilkins to Queen Victoria, we had a promising side. From King Callaghan to Bonny Prince Francis, we’ve paid up and we’ve cried. Princess Gower and Princess Ferguson, we’ve looked a hard nut to crack…” Oh, and who would “Admiral Looney Nelson” be? …their meaning is fully clear, nonetheless.
I only recognize Queen Victoria. And, to the best of my knowledge, there was only a Bonny Prince Charlie. Any insight from the UK?
Thanks,
