The [Telegraph](http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml;jsessionid=QTJVIMAMZUKE3QFIQMGSFFWAVCBQWIV0?xml=/news/2007/10/29/nroyal129.xml) is reporting Scotland Yard is investigating an attempt to blackmail a Royal. The Royal cannot be named for legal reasons.

Described at a “50,000 pound sex and drugs blackmail plot,” the two men were arrested by a policeman posing a legal advisor to the Royal who met them at a hotel to view an alleged compromising video tape.

Let the wild speculation begin!

Colonel Mustard with Prince Charles in the stables?  
The Princess Royal with a candlestick in the orangery?

Not only is there already a thread about this in IMHO, and not only did the OP there make the same joke, they also used _the same Clue character_.

Is there some connection between Col. Mustard and the British Royal family I don’t know about.
