Boopsie: Zonker, Sam can't go to a wedding-- she's got school! Zonker: But it's a once-in-a-lifetime educational experience! Also, think of the manners she'll pick up at court! Here's a preview-- kick it, Sam! Sam: Pleas, Mummy! Please, Father! I should very much like to go! It'll be ever so jolly and grand! Boopsie: "Mummy?" B.D.: "Please?" Zonker: They're speechless! That means yes! Sam: Yay!

Gott love B.D’s reaction. The thing that confuses him most is that his daughter said “Please.”

Oh, I don’t know. Harry, despite his ancestry (or perhaps because of it), is a soldier through and through. When his cover was blown and he was brought home early from his first tour in Afghanistan, he successfully pushed to be allowed to go back with his regiment for a second four-month tour as an Apache pilot at Camp Bastion (Las Vegas being the R&R prior to it…). I think he would get on quite well with BD as a father-in-law, in fact BD prior to losing his leg would have reminded him a lot of his grandfather, Prince Philip.Plus his current girlfriend, Cressida Bonas, has the wide-eyed naive look of both Boopsie and Sam.. .

What a terrible time for someone to be on vacation. It must be eating him alive to have history in the making and he is gone.
