    Prince John and Queen Elizabeth.

    Hi all,
    Just a piece of history I had not seen.
    Now I realise I can't post the pic.
    Pity we can't post pics.
    Richmond v Fitzroy MCG 1970.

    I'm pretty sure that was the first ever VFL game held on a Sunday too because it was the space Madge had on her dance card.
    Have you been reading those Roddy Doyle books again, Dougal!?

    I reckon that's the year that Stupid Sexy Prince Charles was driven along Somerville road past Kingsville primary school on his way to the airport and we all had to traipse outside and wave as he went past. Except me, my dad told me that I shouldn't wave. I had to sit down when Mrs Monkhouse made us sing God Save the Queen too.

    Which Prince John is this? There was a Prince John who was a sickly child as they would say in the day, and died in his early teens.

    Who was that. I have a special interest in Plantagenet kings and King John (1199-1216) *!*!*!*!ed things up so badly that he's the only king never to have his name repeated in the succession. For instance there are plenty of Henrys, Georges and Edwards through the centuries but in more than 900 years no more Johns.

    I think this is Prince John, enemy of Robin Hood.

    Or I suppose it could be:

    Prince John (John Charles Francis; 12 July 1905 – 18 January 1919) was the fifth son and youngest of the six children of King George V and Queen Mary.

    If he was from that era then he'd have been doing a sterling job in getting to the MCG in 1970.

    It would have been a fair effort, you're quite correct. King John drowned in the Wash (a watery paddock in Suffolk) in 1216. Interestingly his crown jewels and treasure are still submerged there somewhere.
