...British officials, including Prime Minister Harold Wilson, KEYSTONE in morning clothes. The royal family itself was rather subdued. Queen Elizabeth, carrying an Edwardian parasol, was done up in pale gold. Prince Philip wore the dark blue, braided uniform of a field marshal. Prince Charles, who waited in the Chamberlain tower until formally summoned by his mother, wore the No. 1 blues of the New Royal Regiment of Wales, of which he is colonel-in-chief. As he received the instruments of his office -silver-handled sword, amethyst ring, ermine-topped mantle and contemporary gold coronet-mother and son looked into...

On the other hand, less than a month before the outbreak of World War II, Chamberlain was placidly grouse shooting in Scotland. Almost to the end, the old Tory was more indignant about radicals at home than fascists abroad...
Mosley often trivializes history by reducing it, for example, to a matter of Chamberlain's gout or Hitler's bad breath. He also overplays that luxury sport of historians, the what-if game: "If a certain Virgil Tilea hadn't had a large and stimulating lunch on March 16, 1939, Britain and France might not have been at war with Germany on September...
