I’ve been about courts a great deal in my misspent career, and by and large I bar royalty pretty strong. They may be harmless enough folk in themselves, but they attract a desperate gang of placeman and hangers-on, and in my experience, the closer you get to the throne, the nearer you may finish up to the firing-line.
Flashman at the Charge, p.35, Pan edition, 5th printing, 1979.
