OK this is far-fetched and in the realms of imagination but I lick my chops
thinking of it.
Peter Phillips son of Mark Phillips (first husband) and Princess Anne,
daughter of the Queen, is in today's news. A favorite of the Queen, he is
married to former Canadian Autumn Kelly (she's British now) and they have
just given birth to a baby girl who is the Queen's first great-grandchild.
The child is twelfth in line to the throne.
Peter Phillips eleventh in line to the throne, was employed by Jaguar which
is now owned by Tatas. He together with his wife Autumn currently work for
the Royal Bank of Scotland.
If Peter Phillips by some quirk of fate would have become the King of
England while in Jaguar's employ, the headlines especially in the Daily
Mirror would have been:
KING OF ENGLAND EMPLOYED BY INDIAN
And Winston Churchill would have turned in his grave. He of the fame of
calling Gandhi a "naked fakir" and "I am not Her Majesty's Prime Minister to
preside over the dissolution of the British Empire" when asked if he would
give India her freedom.
