Rubbing shoulders with yer actual Royalty

By: Dave Leggett - 2 February 2010 12:59

I think I mentioned last week that I was attending an event at which Prince Michael of Kent would be present. The people at Automotive PR have sent me a pic - you can see that HRH and I are in deep conversation (that's my best angle, I reckon). He was asking me about just-auto, numbers of readers, who they are. I remembered not to call him Mike. He prefers Mick.

Is my hair really that grey? Guess so.

Nice picture. Whenever I see pictures of myself I always ask, "Do I really have so little hair?"
