I presume the "king" is the one in the suit and no leaves in his hair. I am far from being the keenest Royalist here on AB...quite the opposite. But hasn't this chap snubbed Wills and Britain in general over this affair ? I call it *** rude !

woofgang, I'm guessing that Picts didn't live in the areas aog is concerned about.

only 90 minute meeting, so he does want to as long as it's longer.

// Sounds to me he thinks 90 minutes is not long enough for them to pay homage to his status. //

That's fine. I don't see a problem. They'll get an extra 90 minutes relaxing in the hotel room instead of making awkward small talk with a Maori king.

If he's taxpayer funded, his taxpayers might want to know why he's not doing his job, but that's between him and them.
