This afternoon we travelled to the Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff, there to see the WNO put on Die Meistersingers, featuring Bryn Terfel no less, as Sachs. We took our places, and then a few moments later a middle aged, balding man entered the auditorium. As he was ushered to his seat not far from us, a spontaneous, if somewhat muted applause broke out.
"Who is it?" I asked my neighbour
"It's the Prince of Wales, actually"
"Oh my God no! You know my eyes are so bad these days I didn't recognise him"
"Me too. In fact I only clocked him myself because of the ears"
But my wife was furious with me for my appalling lack of cool.
