#1 A fortune in the low millions is not enough to allow the young Earl to contnue for very long in the family habits. No doubt we will soon see him narrating BBC travelogues, a la one of the Windsor lads.

#6 Likem this....

If you took all the girls I knew
When I was single
And brought them all together for one night
I know theyâd never match
My sweet imagination
And everything looks worse in black and white

#7 There is a connection with the story of freedom and America: John Locke's great Second Treatise of Government owes its existence to an Earl of Shaftesbury.

Anthony Ashley Cooper (1671-1713) was the grandson of the first Earl of Shaftesbury and John Locke's patron. He was an ardent student of the classics, and a devotee of liberty of thought.
