...down with advisers to chart an independent career akin to his father's. He is already privy to the red "boxes," locked leather cases of official state papers, that Westminster and Whitehall dispatch daily to the Queen (even Prince Philip does not receive them).

Twist 3: we are told that environmentalists want us living in the Stone Age, but we don't have the technology for that...
