If you taught American/World History or Social Studies or some other subject that I find VERY boring in high school or college, your class would be a hoot!

You were talking about Charles (PAG), and said his grandfather, Prince Albert (who would be his mom's dad) ruled as George instead of ruling as Albert. (I think I like calling him Charles PAG.) Of course, we all knew his marriage to Diana would not last since she didn't marry him, but some other guy with the same names but in a different order...<br>Actually, I thought at the time it was quite endearing. To have been the center of attention in such a spectacle must have been quite taxing on the nerves. It's a wonder Diana didn't call him Uncle Albert.
