Gender Equality

This just in from Copenhagen: The biographer of Prince Henrik of Denmark,  has announced that the Prince Consort no longer wishes to be buried next to his wife of fifty years, Queen Margrethe II because he was never made king or king consort. "He said he loves his wife, but has difficulties with the Queen as an institution." His grudge has been festering for some time going back to a grievance about not having his own salary and having to ask his wife for pocket money for cigarettes. Most guys could sympathize with that but the law on gender equality does not apply to the Royal Court.
A twin glass sarcophagus is being prepared, but alas, the Queen may rest there alone. To paraphrase Richard III "My hearse, my hearse, my kingdom for a hearse."
