His Royal Standard is flying over the Hotel Saskatchewan as I post. ---

Hey, I wonder if they let him have my regular room… ---

Motorcycle cops and Mountie cars are lining up outside the Hotel with lights flashing. Looks like Charlie is on the move. ---

…And he’s sharing a room (suite?) with the Duchess of Cornwall!! :eek: 😃 ---

La la la la la staying far away from Albert St. today. I wonder if the royal family laughs when they see the ‘Royal Suites’ in places like Regina. It’s probably like the size of their bathrooms back at Buckingham. ---

[QUOTE=Spoons] Hm. When I’ve stayed there, my standard wasn’t flown. [/QUOTE] Yes, but did you stay in the Royal Suite? I think it’s one of the complimentary services, like the Globe & Mail in the morning. [Royal Suite at the Hotel Sask](http://www.hotelsask.com/?p=accommodations&id=6#6): [Sitting Room](http://www.hotelsask.com/popup_imagegallery.php?id=47#) [Dining Room](http://www.hotelsask.com/popup_imagegallery.php?id=48#) [Bedroom](http://www.hotelsask.com/popup_imagegallery.php?id=49#) But I can’t find how much it goes for on their web-site. I think it’s one of those “If you have to ask, you can’t afford it” thingies. ---

Well, it looks like Charlie and Camilla have moved on - but now his Mum’s rep is in town. The GovGen’s standard is flying on the Hotel Sask this morning. ---

Let’s run it up the flag pole and see if anyone salutes!
