MAMA MIA! WILL YOU NEVER GO! WHEN WILL I GET TO TRY A CROWN ON?: Prince Charles has been off to see Mama Mia, the Abba musical, whcih reopened the Prince of Wales Theatre with a charity show. "I knew every word. It certainly dates me" said Charles, heading backstage after the show. No, son, what dates you is being part of the last vestiges of an archaic feudal aristocracy who's been handed large chunks of Cornwall, Wales and god knows what else just as an accident of birth. Compared to that, being able to hum along with 'Take A Chance on Me' makes you look as up-to-the-minute as a plasma screen TV.



Blimey, Benny's let himself go a bit... although not as much as Agnetha.

Actually, that's Camilla, of course, who observed of the musical that "it's got what you call the feel-good factor - you come away feeling good." There's certainly no denying Charles goes for the bright ones, is there?

* - try singing it to the original tune. It works
