There are two ways to look at this topic I feel:
Here is a link to help you with the most obvious way, with the musical note: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbvS6qP7rvM The second way is the Literary view that honours the fairy tale: Sleeping Beauty: #..The Queen discovers her husband infidelities, and orders his his babies to be cooked and fed to him...# Probably enough to send any royal mad!

Philip's last words to me 2 days ago were:
"Dear Plantagenet Pete
You being a true royal must carry my good name forever. All of my jokes are funny.
Even OLO's Commoners and ex-Convict Spear Chuckers should appreciate Royal Humour.
So it falls to you, Brave King Pete to inflict my best jokes on unworthy OLOers forever.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!"
[That was Phil's last word]
