My god you know everyone! Being 'stuck' as the King of England? Almost as horrible as winning the lotto.

I'm sure he just wanted to be a shepherd and look what happened.

Just going by the public comments.

Hey, you want to be King of England, have fun. I'd hate to be stuck in the monarchy. Except for the horses - that's a perk.

For those that are interested in coincidences, there is a horse called "Royal Wedding" scheduled to run on Friday at Fontwell. He'll probably win as well
